Thank you, Governor Kay Ivey for proclaiming March 30th as Doctor's Day in Alabama!

“Alabama’s physicians are honored to serve our fellow citizens during some of the most critical moments of their lives. Being a physician is a calling to help and heal people,” Medical Association President Dr. Mark LeQuire said.

Governor Kay Ivey declared March 30 as Doctors Day, urging Alabamians to honor the state's 13,000 physicians for their dedication and personalized care.

“This is a common-sense, life-saving proposal that will better protect Alabama’s students,” Medical Association President Dr. Mark LeQuire said. “We are grateful to the House and Senate for recognizing the importance of this issue. By expanding the law to include all FDA-approved epinephrine delivery systems, we can give schools more flexibility and ensure faster responses to allergic emergencies.”

Physicians are backing legislation to allow needle-free epinephrine options in schools, saying the added flexibility could prevent fatal allergic reactions.

"Senate Bill 80 would require every hospital emergency department in Alabama to have a physician physically present on site, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is a straightforward bill that simply aligns the law with what patients already expect when there is not a moment to lose." -- Dr. Sean Vanlandingham, rural emergency medicine physician and Alabama Chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians president.

Many Alabamians were surprised to learn current law does not always require a physician present in the emergency room, prompting a legislative effort.
