“Together our voices are more than one. We can make care in North Carolina that beautiful thing you’re proud of. I’m proud to be a provider and practitioner in North Carolina, and the medical society gives me the chance to come together with others who have that same goal in mind.”
ROY STROWD III, MD
“If you want to see [The PA] profession grow, you have to align yourself with the medical society because it’s physicians and PAs together that are going to make a difference in this state.”
JIM HILL, PA-C, MEd
“Currently, practicing medicine remains very gratifying, yet still extremely time-consuming. We are being drawn in so many different directions, between taking care of our patients and administrative burdens. We don’t have as much time as we used to to connect with our peers, but our state medical society is that source! It allows us to engage with each other, our profession, as well as stay on top of new issues that are affecting our patients and our community.”
CLAUDE JARRETT, MD
