In today’s healthcare environment, doctors, medical practices, advanced practice clinicians, and health systems need an advocate—a resolute voice loud enough to be heard. TDC Group is relentlessly committed to supporting medical liability reform and to safeguarding access to patient care.
We lead the industry with a dedicated, award-winning Government Relations team and the only medical liability advocacy program covering all 50 states and the federal level.
We defend reforms that are in place, prevent legislation from being enacted that would undermine the defenses of our members, and take opportunities to enact new measures that would limit liability exposure for our members and healthcare professionals across the country.
We dedicate ourselves to this calling so that those caring for our communities can make decisions based on the best outcomes for patients, rather than the ever-present threat of litigation, invasive regulation, or financial loss.
