Nearly a dozen members of the New York State Society of Plastic Surgeons (NYSSPS) visited lawmakers in Albany yesterday as part of the NYSSPS 2024 Lobby Day. The group met directly with numerous legislative leaders and with officials at the Department of Financial Services to press for a number of key priorities, including: prior authorization reform, scope of practice expansion proposals that would threaten care quality, truth in advertising legislation, NYSHIP out of network legislation and others. The group of 11 surgeons is pictured below with NYSSPS Executive Director Lisa Wickens-Alteri (far left) and Senator Neil Breslin (second from left), who is the primary sponsor and champion of the “Gold Card” prior authorization reform bill.

Many other states are already using them. New York needs to start using them now. More NYers will die needlessly if we fail to act this year.

It's a bipartisan effort in the remaining days of session.

Please join us on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. for an important interactive educational webinar that exposes a critical flaw in New York State’s opioid overdose response, and discusses new tools that are now available to reverse the explosive growth in overdose deaths.

Presenters will discuss the role of Naloxone in preventing death and permanent injury, the most up to date tools available to the public and first responders, and the obstacles unique to New York that prevent some of the most effective tools from getting to the hands of first responders.

In addition, the discussion will detail: the evolution of the epidemic from prescription painkillers to he**in, fentanyl and synthetics; the toll in lives lost; and the lesser known but potentially far broader toll of permanent brain injury associated with opioid overdose.

The webinar, hosted by Capital Health Consulting, will feature leading national experts Desiree Crevecoeur-MacPhail, Ph.D. and Edmond Hakimi, MD. Also joining to share her fist-hand experiences is Ashley Livingston, a recovery advocate who has received and administered Naloxone.

Participants are welcome and encouraged to ask questions.
