CO Family Physicians

We’re stepping away from X on 2/20. You can still find updates from the Colorado Academy of Family Physicians on: 🔹 LinkedIn: Colorado Academy of Family Physicians 🔹 Instagram: @colorado_afp 🔹 Website: coloradoafp.org Thanks for staying connected with us.

The #AAFP joins the AMA and other physician organizations in opposing immigration enforcement interference in health care facilities. We stand in full support of our family physicians and their colleagues in communities across Minnesota working to ensure that all patients have access to safe, confidential care from a trusted health care professional.

The AAFP rigorously reviews the science so we can support family physicians in protecting patients through safe, effective vaccination. You can count on the AAFP childhood immunization schedule: bit.ly/46HPsgq

This year, CAFP championed real wins for Colorado physicians. ✔️ Physician non-competes prohibited (SB-83) ✔️ Stigmatizing mental health questions removed from licensure applications (HB-1176) Proud to advocate for family physicians and their patients. #familymedicine

Warm holiday wishes from all of us at CAFP. Thank you for caring for Colorado all year long. 🎁✨ #HappyHolidays #FamilyMedicine

"For most family physicians, our commitment to providing hepatitis B vaccination to newborns remains the same today as it was before the CDC’s ACIP voted last week to change a longstanding recommendation." Read more from AAFP Chief Medical Officer @MargotSavoy: bit.ly/4pXFfnS

CAFP supports the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's recommendation to continue universal hepatitis B vaccination for newborns. Read CDPHE's press release. cdphe.colorado.gov/press-release/…

Removing the universal recommendation for Hepatitis B vaccination could result in thousands of chronic HepB infections, leading to severe complications like liver cancer and death. The AAFP strongly supports maintaining universal HepB vaccination at birth, and we call on @CDCgov to ensure this safety net continues to protect newborns and life-saving protection remains the standard of care.
