As we step into 2026, our shared mission is to restore physician autonomy in the pursuit of patient beneficence and superior outcomes. We will reconfigure business models that prioritize patient outcomes and elevate professional dignity, while advancing collective bargaining and advocacy to ensure that our voice shapes the future of care. Together, we will not only navigate change—we will lead it. I look forward to partnering with each of you in this vital work."
