Advocacy

The Northern California Chapter of the American College of Surgeons is the primary voice for surgeons in the state of California and its members realize that democracy is not a spectator sport. In our nation, public health professionals play a significant role in decision-making processes and policy formation. As members of the public health community, Northern California Chapter members' involvement in the policy-formation process is essential. The Northern California Chapter, in coordination with its members, works with key policymakers to shape policy that addresses today's ongoing public health concerns.
