FAMPAC is NCAFP's political action committee (PAC). This voluntary family medicine PAC provides North Carolina family physicians a strong voice in the NC state legislature and helps the Academy in its efforts to impact both health policy and the overall practice environment. NCAFP's goal with FAMPAC is to build awareness of the Academy and family medicine among members of the North Carolina state and federal legislature.
Contrary to popular opinion, FamPAC contributions do not buy votes and aren't expected to. The NCAFP believes organizations and their members who make contributions are more likely to get an audience and be heard during the legislative process. The goal of FAMPAC is to build awareness of the Academy and family medicine's issues among members of the legislature.
FAMPAC contributions go directly to support legislators who are informed and committed to family medicine's health policy, business, and practice management issues. The results? The interests of family medicine are much more likely to receive attention among the many competing interests and constant stream of proposals.
NC FAMPAC Forerunners contribute monthly to FAMPAC, helping family medicine keep its voice heard and our issues recognized in the NC legislature. The program works through simple, automated recurring contributions and once set up, is effortless.
