PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Practice Power Hour

At SSVMS, we’ve listened closely to the feedback of our members. Many of you, whether in private practice or group settings, have voiced a need for more practical, accessible support on the business and operational side of medicine. In response, we’re launching a new educational webinar series in partnership with the California Medical Association designed to strengthen practices and reduce administrative burdens: the Practice Power Hour Lunch and Learn series.

Starting this December, these monthly one-hour sessions will cover topics such as Medicare payment changes for 2026, improving practice efficiency, protecting against payor abuse, and navigating state complaint processes. Each will feature CMA experts offering clear, actionable guidance to help you and your staff work smarter, not harder.

Our goal is simple: to give every physician the tools to thrive in a rapidly changing healthcare landscape. I encourage you to join these sessions and share your experiences as we continue shaping resources that support you.

Thank you!
