“With all the legislative and payor issues physicians are facing today, it is important that no one be an ‘island unto themselves,’ but band together so we can fight with strength,” Ms. Torbett says. “Becoming a member of STAR provides information on an extremely timely basis of issues of importance to the physician practices. This also helps physicians in private practice to realize that they are not alone. … When we work together on issues and help fight the fight, maybe we can make changes that will improve medicine for both provider and patient.”
