Support PACEP Legislative Efforts - Contribute to PEP-PAC




You’ve heard it before from PACEP and you’ll hear it again: your individual support is crucial. It matters. By contributing a fraction of your hard-earned dollars to our Pennsylvania Emergency Physicians’ Political Action Committee (PEP-PAC) you keep emergency medicine at the table and part of the conversation! Issues important to our profession are discussed and legislated by people who don't know our patients or practice as well as we do.
CONTRIBUTE TODAY!
What is PEP-PAC?
The Pennsylvania Emergency Physicians Political Action Committee has been used to represent our interests in the state capitol for years. It is designed to raise money that we will use strategically to benefit our patients and promote our agenda.

How does it work?
Physicians and interested parties make donations to PEP-PAC. PACEP and our lobbying firm, Milliron and Goodman, use this money to support our advocacy priorities.  We use it to attend fundraisers, breakfasts, and luncheons for legislators. We make campaign contributions. We use it to develop relationships that we will need in the future. We use it to discuss our issues such as balance billing, opioid reform, hospital regulations update, mental healthcare, independent practice of nurse practitioners, to name a few. We use it to say thank you for supporting emergency medicine and our patients in the legislature.

Who do we support?
We support both Democrats and Republicans. We realize that healthcare should be a bipartisan issue. We commonly ask both sides of the aisle for support on our issues.

PEP-PAC Statement
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to PEP-PAC recently and to our members who have given regularly over the years. It’s likely an understatement to say that the current political climate is difficult to navigate, and we understand the concerns about how we maintain our integrity as an organization while still participating in the political process in a productive way. In the emergency department, doing what is right for our patients is a difficult and sometimes thankless endeavor. In legislative and regulatory circles, our obligation to advocate for our patients and our specialty can be even more challenging, requiring us to engage with stakeholders with different interests and perspectives. To be effective advocates, we continue to engage with elected representatives and their staff, of all political parties and philosophies, in discourse and discussions about the important issues that impact emergency physicians and our patients. Now more than ever, it is imperative that PACEP lead productive and positive conversations, at the bedside and in Harrisburg. Thank you for your continued support and please reach out with any questions or concerns.
