Capitol Day

Every year, we flood the Capitol with white coats to advocate for the osteopathic profession and the patients we serve across Mississippi.

Make Your Voice Heard at the Capitol

Capitol Day is an annual advocacy event bringing together physicians, residents, students, and supporters at the Mississippi State Capitol. This day is dedicated to strengthening relationships with lawmakers, advancing meaningful health policy, and protecting the future of physician-led care in Mississippi.

This is your opportunity to meet directly with your legislators, advocate for issues that impact your practice and your patients, and help shape healthcare policy at the state level. 

Why Capitol Day Matters

Decisions made at the Capitol directly affect how osteopathic physicians practice medicine and deliver care. Capitol Day allows us to stand together and:

• Advocate for the osteopathic profession and physician-led care
• Educate lawmakers on the role and impact of DOs in Mississippi
• Influence health policy that affects patients, practices, and communities
• Present a united, visible presence in white coats
