Advocating for America's independent doctors as the assistant to AID Executive Director Marni Jameson Carey. The Association of Independent Doctors is a national nonprofit trade association with over 1,000 members in 40 states. We are speaking out about the issues facing independent doctors, and the importance of preserving them. Founded just six years ago to support independent doctors, and to educate lawmakers, businesses, the media and consumers about why their survival is so important, AID has quickly grown to become the voice of independent doctors.
