KMS Advocacy Day 2026

Elected policymakers are ever-changing. Our advocacy must be constant.

Kansas Medical Society’s Advocacy Day offers a unique opportunity to connect directly with your legislative leaders. You will join physicians from across the state, regardless of specialty to ask the hard questions that impact the house of medicine. Please plan to meet with your specialty society, KMS leadership & your peers to inform lawmakers, guide decision-making, and generate support for policies on critical issues that impact physicians, patients, and the healthcare environment for our great state of Kansas. Whether you view advocacy as a responsibility or an option, your community participation, leadership, and collective voices are essential to the House of Medicine’s continued leadership in health care.

Kansas Medical Society Advocacy Day 2026

Another successful Advocacy Day and Physician Day Legislative Luncheon comes to a close. On Wednesday, January 21st, 2026 physicians from across Kansas and our legislative leaders gathered to discuss the issues impacting physicians across the house of medicine.

We were honored to hear from Governor Laura Kelly, Insurance Commissioner Vicki Schmidt, and House and Senate Majority and Minority leadership, who provided valuable insight into how the Legislature is working to support physicians and what issues lie ahead in the upcoming legislative session.

We are grateful to our speakers and to everyone who attended for their continued commitment to advocacy on behalf of Kansas physicians. Your participation strengthens our collective voice, and we look forward to welcoming new and returning faces at Advocacy Day next year!

The Importance of Advocacy Day

A physician’s priority is their patients. The Kansas Medical Society's mission is to ensure patient care remains physician-directed. KMS advocates for Kansas physicians and policies that promote physician-led care. Founded in 1859, KMS ensures that the practice of medicine remains in the hands of physicians and that all Kansans have access to high-quality care.

KMS advocacy is steadfast in ensuring year-round that lawmakers are well-educated on the issues that affect the practice of medicine. Policy at the state level on issues such as tort reform, payor issues, and scope of practice significantly shapes the practice of medicine.

We hope you plan to join us for this special event to see how we advocate on your behalf firsthand.
