<h2>2023 WSMA Legislative Summit Features Panel Discussion on State of Abortion Care </h2>
<p>At the WSMA Legislative Summit next Friday, Feb. 3, we'll check in on the many legislative proposals regarding access to abortion currently being debated in Olympia during a robust panel discussion on the state of abortion care in Washington. Our guest panelists include Senator Karen Keiser (D-Des Moines), Nari Heshmati, MD, WSMA president elect and OB-GYN, and Courtney Normand, Planned Parenthood state director.</p>
<p>Protecting access to abortion and reproductive care is one of the priority legislative and budget items highlighted at this year's Legislative Summit. Other priorities include across-the-board Medicaid reimbursement rate increases, standardizing the prior authorization process, and preventing inappropriate scope-of-practice increases. If you are passionate about direct advocacy or have been looking for ways to engage with the work of the WSMA, next Friday's Summit is a great opportunity to come to Olympia, learn more about WSMA's legislative agenda, and help deliver our advocacy message directly to your elected representatives. The free event begins at 8 a.m. in the Columbia Room of the Legislative Building at 416 Sid Snyder Avenue SW, Olympia, WA 98504. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. <a href="[@]wsma/events/legislative_summit/wsma/events/wsma_legislative_summit/Legislative_Summit.aspx?hkey=795731a5-79ba-45b0-b78b-b9dfbfc336e5&amp;_zs=A3aFd1&amp;_zl=soFk8">Register for the event online</a>.</p>
