PREPPING FOR THE CAROLINA MEDICAL ALLIANCE ANNUAL CONFERENCE

I recently met with the Carolina Medical Alliance and was briefed on their upcoming annual conference in April 2008. The alliance is comprised of approximately 1,000 physicians and medical staff throughout the state. The conference will feature a distinguished panel of personnel, including Peter Fotos of our Washington, D.C staff, to discuss topics which impact South Carolina physicians and medical associates. I have worked closely with the alliance on behalf of Sen. DeMint to address their concerns and needs. Business, community, city and county leadership are also gearing up for the fifth annual Florence County Legislative Day set for March 25, 2008. Florence County Economic Development in partnership with the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce will sponsor the event. The event was initiated four years ago, and entails participants traveling to the statehouse and meeting with legislative representatives of Florence County and staff. The Florence chamber says it is an opportunity to voice their needs and to learn the vision of their legislative delegation.
