Since the AGM in the fall of 2025, POABC has been busy meeting with multiple payers with the help of our contracted lobbying firm Global Public Affair. We are continuing to advance on representing our profession and the financial burdens of our patients with the multiple complexe copay system. We are grateful to have 15 facility members who generously help our provincial association to be financially capable to cover our lobbying cost.
