Our Mission

Our mission is to ensure physician-led care for all patients and to advocate for truth and transparency regarding healthcare providers. We advance our mission by educating our colleagues, by influencing policy and legislation, and by educating our patients and the public.

Our Vision

We fight to uphold the highest standards in patient care and in healthcare practitioner transparency.

Our History

The Coalition came together in 2019 as a partnership between the Louisiana Academy of Family Physicians and the Louisiana State Medical Society to address truth and transparency regarding healthcare providers.  A decision was made to bring our combined knowledge and experience together for the purpose of learning how to most effectively educate patients and the public.
