ADVOCACY ALERT
Your VCACC Chapter is working with the Medical Society of Virginia, the Virginia Nurses Association, and other medical specialty groups to ban non-compete agreements for ALL healthcare professionals. Currently, non-compete clauses allowed in Virginia restrict healthcare professionals from practicing within a certain geographical area and for a certain time period upon leaving their current employer. These non-compete agreements are adding to our state's healthcare shortage and are detrimental to patients who rely on their healthcare providers for continuity of care.
It is time to have cardiology's voice heard and ban non-compete agreements in Virginia!
Please send a letter below to your State Delegate and Senator to support banning non-compete agreements by passing SB 128/HB 627.Congratulations to the Jeopardy team from the University of Virginia who will represent the VCACC at ACC.26 in New Orleans!
