Founder
Amy E. Liepert, MD Associate Professor of Clinical Surgery
Dr. Liepert is a trauma and acute care surgeon who is passionate about surgical health policy advocacy. Her unique perspective and participation in health policy and advocacy stemmed from educational experiences she had while at Marquette University.
“Advocacy engagement allows impact on patients to extend beyond my clinical interventions in the operating room, hospital, and clinic,” she says.
Her advocacy in the legislative process allows for impact and policy changes affecting surgical care and patients at local, state, and national levels. Dr. Liepert was the chair of the Policy, Planning and Government Relations Committee of the Wisconsin Surgical Society and a member of the Health Policy Advocacy Group of the American College of Surgeons, among many other appointments.
- “I want to ensure adequate care for patients by ensuring that the systems for their care continue to remain a legislative priority.”
