2025 Advocacy Breakfasts

RSVP Today!

Join us for Coffee!

Please join us in 2025 to meet your lawmakers and to advocate for health care policies over coffee and a light breakfast.

These breakfasts, which will be held in the cafeteria at the Vermont Statehouse in Montpelier, are an informal opportunity to educate lawmakers on ways to improve Vermont's practice environment. Each breakfast starts on specific Wednesdays at 8-9:00AM.

The Vermont Medical Society (VMS) will be trading off hosting the breakfasts with the Vermont Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics Vermont Chapter, the Vermont Ophthalmological Society, along with OB/GYN residents and UVMMC medical students. When you RSVP you will be asked to attend the breakfasts being hosted by the specialty societies you are a member of. The VMS encourages all specialties to attend the advocacy breakfasts they are hosting. Please reach out to Jill Sudhoff-Guerin at jsudhoffguerin@vtmd.org if you have any questions.
