KMS Policy Statements
Each year, physicians from around the state gather for the KMS Annual Meeting. It is at this meeting, in the House of Delegates, where KMS generates much of its work-plan for the coming year; additionally, policy statements, which will guide the organization's advocacy efforts, are adopted. Adopted policies are in effect for five years and automatically sunset unless they are renewed by a vote of the House.
Below you will find a listing of the statements adopted since 2008. The resolution subjects are listed alphabetically and PDFs of each resolution are available by clicking on the statement title.
