Board of Advisors Report
The legislation session is in full swing despite COVID-19,
so our leadership is continuing to meet with our legislators—
they are just doing it virtually. Some bills have already
been introduced that could have a massive impact on the
practice of Medicine in Texas, such as House Bill 2029,
which would allow advanced practice registered nurses full
practice authority.
First Tuesdays are a great way to make your voice heard.
You can learn more information about these virtual events
at www.texmed.org/FirstTuesdays/. Another way to get involved
is through the TMA Grassroots Action Center, which
makes it easy to write your local legislators about your concerns
and interests. You can access the program at
www.texmed.org/grassroots.
As we support our community at this critical time, we are
advising local officials on safe practices that will help them
make policies that are in the best interest of the residents
of Tarrant County. We are partnering with Tarrant County
Public Health as well as other medical leaders to provide
messaging on COVID-19 for our community as information
continues to develop.
We ran a successful COVID-19 vaccine clinic out of the
TCMS building; in partnership with Tom Thumb and Albertsons,
we were able provide both doses of the Moderna
vaccine for about 300 of our members and their staffs. We
are continuing to work to connect physicians and other
healthcare workers who have not yet received the vaccine
to programs that can provide access.
Board of Advisors meetings (which are currently held over
Zoom) are open to every member of TCMS. It is a great
way to get involved with the society and to stay up to date
on things that are happening in our medical community. If
you are interested in participating, contact Melody Briggs at
mbriggs@tcms.org.
