We work to improve quality healthcare.

Every spring our Board of Councilors travel to Washington D.C.  to meet with Indiana Representatives and Senators to advocate for continued access to high quality healthcare. We join together with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons to provide legislative and regulatory education, building support for orthopaedic-related legislation and regulations, and strengthen relationships with key decision makers within the U.S. government. 

The AAOS maintains a list of pertinent national legislation issues affecting the orthopaedic community.
