The Emergency Medicine Political Action Committee


Morris Kharasch, MD, is a member of the Illinois College of Emergency Physicians (ICEP), as well as president of professional staff at NorthShore University HealthSystem. As a practicing physician and member of ICEP, Dr. Morris Kharasch is represented by EMPAC, the Emergency Medicine Political Action Committee of Illinois.

EMPAC was established in 1994 as a way to contribute to candidates who are critical to the advancement of emergency care. Working to support various state senators, representatives, Supreme Court justices, and the governor, EMPAC monitors the legislative progress of emergency medicine. A key element to governmental involvement is the partnerships involved; EMPAC works closely with ICEP members and staff, lobbyists, and government officials to promote their cause.

Bills affecting emergency care range in topic from universal health insurance to the legalization of the personal use of fireworks. With the work of EMPAC, Illinois physicians can be sure their views on these topics and more are expressed in the capital.
