Doctors' Day on the Hill was a great success this year! Nashville Academy of Medicine (NAM) had strong representation from our physician members advocating on behalf of the profession and the patients served in our state.
NAM members connected directly with legislators, shared perspectives from the front lines of healthcare in our community, and helped elevate key issues impacting medical practice in Tennessee.
Thank you to everyone who participated and represented NAM so well!

| Thank You to Our Amazing Physician Volunteers! | |
During National Volunteer Month, we extend a heartfelt thank you to our physician volunteers!
These dedicated doctors support our mission by serving on the Nashville Academy of Medicine and Medical Foundation Boards, committees and work groups, and as delegates to the TMA House of Delegates. And more than 2,300 physicians have volunteered through Project Access Nashville to provide care for our low-income, uninsured neighbors. Your efforts save lives and continue to make Tennessee a great place to practice medicine.
Thank you, Doctors!
