| | The Bylaws Committee and Executive Director conducted additional review of the OAPA Bylaws after the Spring 2024 vote and found areas needing further attention, primarily for grammar, standardization, and clarity purposes.

| | As providers, we want our patients to be informed about their health. Empowering patients to take ownership of their care is crucial. The real issue lies in timing. When a patient discovers concerning findings, like potential malignancy, from their smartphone before I have a chance to deliver the news in person—before I can offer comfort and empathy—that's a problem. |
Top | | On Wednesday, October 9, the State Medical Board of Ohio voted to amend the administrative rules for medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), effective October 31, 2024. The amendments reflect changes in federal law and allow prescribers to safely provide needed treatment to vulnerable patients. |
| | Today, we face numerous health epidemics affecting both body and mind, and the human, economic, and societal costs are real.
