New Jersey Physicians Launch New, Statewide Association to Fight for Stronger Voice in Healthcare
Date:9/12/2007

TRENTON, N.J., Sept. 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Leaders of the medical community today announced the formation of a new, statewide physicians' association to address increasing concerns that the quality of medical care in New Jersey, and the future of the practice of medicine, are in jeopardy.

"It is our hope that this voice will begin a new and better chapter for healthcare in New Jersey."

As part of this effort, NJ PHYSICIANS is creating a registry for members to compile cases of patient injury resulting from managed care's denial of physician r
