Health Choice: Liberation from Mandates

Health Choice is front and center in our upcoming election. Health Choice is a kitchen table, bread and butter discussion but not in the manner main stream media would lead one to believe. Health choice is about freedom from mandates and freedom from predetermined protocols that reduce the patient to items on a spread sheet. Virginia Medical Freedom Alliance and North Caroline Physicians for Freedom want to welcome you to a day filled with happiness, hope and connectedness. A day filled with speakers, vendors and fellow warriors who are seeking options to vaccines, prescription medications, and most importantly to restoring and/or preserving health of mind, body and spirit.

In an age when health care expenses can be demoralizing, leading some to pressure people into options of “convenience”, the physicians and other healthcare providers gather to speak to the dignity of each human life, knowing that care can be provided throughout every life stage, from in utero development to the end of life. Our doctors will discuss how to spot the red flags and advocate for yourself or your family and friends.
