The Wyoming Medical Society has joined more than 30 states in a campaign to strengthen America’s relationship with physicians and highlight the importance of the physician-patient relationship for quality patient care.

Physicians are compassionate healers and their patients’ strongest allies. They persevered through years of medical school and residency to build connections with, treat, and heal their patients. Every day they aim to provide the highest quality of care – it’s what all those hours of training prepared them for. 

This is their calling; what drives them every day.

Physicians are Patients Strongest Allies in Health 

Yet in recent years, physicians have faced reputational challenges brought on by broader frustrations within healthcare. Americans want to see more of their physicians – 89% of national voters agree that the doctor-patient relationship is central to health care – yet too often, the system gets in the way. Now more than ever, physicians find themselves stuck between a desire to connect with patients and a need to navigate seemingly endless red tape and bureaucracy.
