We Positioned the Physician as "Patient Advocate Number One"
MSDC continued to support the physician-patient relationship with programs and activities that showcased DC physicians as patient advocates. Flu Vaccine Secured for At-Risk Patients During the flu vaccine shortage earlier this year, MSDC partnered with the Department of Health to distribute nearly 5,500 doses of the flu vaccine to community-based physicians. DC's TB Program Reviewed The MSDC TB Task Force joined the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in a review of the District's TB program. Value of Cultural Competency Promoted MSDC supported the Delmarva Foundation's Cultural Competency Initiative, designed to offer support to physicians as they continue to understand diversity, enhance communication and improve care in the communities they serve. |
