Your Voice Matters: A POMA Advocacy Update – Ep. 108
Episode 107
Friday, 31 July, 2026
In this episode of POMA DOes…, Tyler Burke, POMA Senior Director of Government Affairs, provides an update on Pennsylvania's recently enacted state budget and what lies ahead for osteopathic physicians. He discusses key healthcare-related investments included in the budget, upcoming legislative priorities, and why POMA's advocacy efforts remain essential as lawmakers return to Harrisburg. The episode also previews POMA's first-ever Advocacy Day on Tuesday, October 6, and explains how physician engagement helps ensure the osteopathic profession has a strong voice in shaping healthcare policy across the Commonwealth. Key Takeaways: Advocacy doesn't end when the budget passes. While the 2026–2027 Pennsylvania budget included investments in education, behavioral health, and workforce development, important physician issues remain on the legislative agenda. POMA's voice matters. From scope of practice to physician reimbursement and healthcare policy, POMA works to ensure osteopathic physicians have a seat at the table and a voice in legislative discussions that impact patient care. Get involved and make an impact. Physicians are encouraged to build relationships with their legislators and attend POMA's first-ever Advocacy Day on Tuesday, October 6, to help educate policymakers about the osteopathic profession and advocate for patients.
