WE NEED STORIES, WE NEED YOUR PATIENTS SUPPORT.
To advocate for expanding Optometry practice in Maine, we need everyone's involvement. 
Here is what we need from you!
- Please keep a list of referrals over 1 month out - Name/procedure/ number of weeks/months until the procedure
- Think about your patient base, friends of yours that are patients, we need support from the community for expanding your ability to do what you have learned in school and beyond.
Inform legislators how expanding optometric practice benefits patients. Examples can be brief and may use patient names with consent. Stories might be used in MOA's social media, legislative testimony, or public communications. Here is an example to inspire you

My time is worth money. I can’t afford to take time off for extra appointments.
If optometrists in other states can perform these procedures, why can’t mine?”
