Dr. Hugh M. Taylor
Dear Colleagues,
I’ll begin by offering my sincere thanks to the incredible group who organized and executed the MMS 2025 Annual Meeting. I’m also deeply grateful to all the delegates and members who brought their perspectives and expertise to help shape the policies
that will guide our Medical Society in the future.
It has been a pleasure to serve as president of the MMS, and work closely with so many passionate and invested colleagues. I thank each of you who made the last year so rewarding and impactful. I am certain that this coming year, under the strong
leadership of my friend and colleague, Dr. Olivia Liao, will continue to prove the value of MMS to our members.
I hope that you had the opportunity to attend our annual Future Health Best conference, which was an incredible opportunity to learn from some of the world’s foremost subject matter experts. I encourage you to discover more about the conference
by reading the wrap-up piece here.
Our advocacy work continues to address some of the most significant issues facing physicians today. I am very proud of the legislative briefing that we hosted at the State House in March. I was joined by my fellow officers, Dr. Olivia Liao, Dr.
Barbara S. Spivak, and Dr. Jessie M. Gaeta, to bring forth the physician voice and patient perspective on issues including potential Medicaid cuts, the urgent need to pilot overdose prevention centers in the Commonwealth, primary care reform,
and the straight-line connection between administrative burden and burnout. For more, please see the summary here.
In closing, please accept my sincere gratitude to you, our members, for affording me the opportunity to lead our Medical Society. It has been a true honor.
If you have concerns or ideas, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Hugh M. Taylor, MD
