What's New with MedChi?
For the first time in 217 years there is an all female executive committee and Dr. Pryor is the 5th consecutive female president. The board of trustees has grown to be more diverse within its ethnicity, race, gender, and sexuality. The increase in engagement of the students and residents has really benefitted the society and has allowed them to look forward a little more.
During the Covid-19 Pandemic MedChi has been helping with education and outreach. Informing the public to pre-register for the Covid-19 vaccine. The focus has been to provide the best possible care to patients and public health. There has been major legislation changes some like the increase in medicare funds and telemedicine is here to stay and is available for audio only for people who don't have access to a device. Telemedicine has been a positive development that allows provision of care that would otherwise not receive care.
Dr. Pryor discusses the public health issues MedChi have been facing head on. The opioid crisis is still thriving regardless of Covid-19, racial inequalities with access to medical care, gun control, gun violence, and the countless mass shootings that keep adding up to name some public health safety issues MedChi addresses.

MoCo Office is Here to Help Protect Residents from SCAMS
Have you ever had an email that stated you have an expected package, make sure you look at the address and other important details. A red flag could be something is just a little off, FedExx, instead of FedEx. Eric tells us not to trust anything that pop up or anything you don't initiate yourself. There are often Fire Department or Police SCAMS. Gift Card Scams is when people ask for payment with Gift Cards because it's hard to get your $$$ back. Robo Calls are another huge problem and Unlicensed Contractors tricking into paying for work you don't need or don't ever get done. Covid Scams have been occurring almost as long as the virus has effected the United States. There are price gouging for anything related, fraudulent vaccine testing, and pay $ to have the vaccine delivered to you.
It is smart to check your credit report often and to research companies. There are 3 bureaus you can check for free with once a year. Attorney General and Montgomery County Resident, Brian Frosh works with Consumer Protection, closely advising and representing our legislature and state agencies and acts as the “People's Lawyer” for Maryland citizens. Frosh has dealt with many cases involving Children's Social Security numbers being stolen because no one checks a child's credit report.
