Improved obesity care and improved processes for nursing home certification were among the issues that Illinois State Medical Society (ISMS) physician delegates voted to support at the recent ISMS Annual Conference and House of Delegates in Oak Brook.
Physicians from across the state attended to debate healthcare issues and establish ISMS policy. During the three-day conference, physician delegates voted to support important issues affecting the health and well-being of patients such as: improved care for obesity, more rigorous health evaluations for persons prior to receiving a public transportation license and improved certification processes for nursing homes.
IHC medical director Dr. Margaret Kirkegaard attended the conference as a delegate from DuPage County and also represented the specialty society of the Illinois Academy of Family Physicians.
