Area 47 Cooperation With the Professional Community (CPC)

Notes from the chair (Liza C) on what I’ve been up to recently

Area 47 Convention Report, June 2024 (.pdf)

Communication to the Medical Community, December 2023

In December 2023, we launched our post card initiative. We sent 180 of the postcards shown below, to Medical Professionals in the field of Primary Care/Family Medicine within 19 counties of Central New York. The purpose of the mailing was to inform medical professionals of:

• what we do
• how we can cooperate, and
• how to help their patients find A.A.

I look forward to working with you in coordinating and initiating CPC efforts across Central NY.

About CPC

C.P.C. committees inform professionals and future professionals about A.A.—

• what we are,
• where we are,
• what we can do,
• and what we cannot do.

Committees attempt to establish better communication between A.A.s and professionals, and to find simple, effective ways of cooperating without affiliating.

The purpose of our Area 47 CPC Committee is to coordinate and initiate CPC efforts across Central New York.
