Conclusion
Expanding patient access, reducing administrative burdens and ensuring that rheumatology practices are positioned to deliver high-quality care continue to be important to the VOR members. Through coordinated advocacy and collaboration with policymakers, the VOR Coalition aims to shape a policy environment that supports the practice of rheumatology. With the VOR leading the way, the rheumatology community will continue to be a powerful voice in shaping healthcare policies and advancing care for those living with rheumatic diseases.
