Physicians are compassionate healers dedicated to building trusted relationships with patients.

Through time spent listening to patients, physicians gain the knowledge to provide the best possible care. Together, physicians and patients can navigate health care red tape in pursuit of high-quality care and positive health outcomes.

The Missouri State Medical Association has launched the "Your Care is At Our Core" statewide campaign with the American Medical Association to protect what matters most: the physician-patient relationship.

Missouri physicians are speaking out against growing barriers, including prior authorization, insurance interference, and administrative overload, that take time away from patient care.

📊 89% of patients agree that the doctor-patient relationship is central to health care.
📊 79% say bureaucracy makes it harder for doctors to provide the best care.

This campaign is a call to action: less red tape, more trust, more time with your physician.
