HAMPAC (Hawaii Medical Political Action Committee) is a voluntary, non profit, non partisan organization of physicians and spouses that was founded in 1963 to financially support pro-medicine candidates seeking public office.
Who is HAMPAC?
Any physician member or their spouse are eligible to join HAMPAC.
What does HAMPAC do?
HAMPAC makes direct contributions to pro-medicine candidates seeking election to the Hawaii State Legislature. Since a portion of HAMPAC's membership dues are shared with the American Medical Association's Political Action Committee (AMPAC), joining HAMPAC automatically makes you a member of AMPAC at the federal level.
The Legislature makes decisions that directly impact the way physicians practice medicine. It is critical that organized medicine educate legislators on key health issues. Without a strong presence at the Capitol, physicians are in great jeopardy of losing even more ground to mid-level practitioners, health plan bureaucrats, and third party payers.
Your contribution is crucial to helping ensure that medicine's voice is heard at the Legislature. By contributing to HAMPAC, you are helping in the fight to protect your practice and your patients. For more information, please contact Paula Arcena, (808) 536-7702.
