Membership in the Chapter is especially valuable in this time of turbulent health care reform. The Chapter has been, and will continue to be, front and center in health care reform discussions locally and nationally. The MCAAP keeps members informed about health care reform issues and its impact on children and practices. The Chapter continually asks members for input on all issues affecting children and families.
