Today, family physicians provide more care for America's underserved and rural populations than any other medical specialty. Headquartered in Jefferson City, MO, the MAFP is dedicated to optimizing the health of patients, families, and communities of Missouri through patient care, advocacy, education, and research. The MAFP is a consitituent chapter of the American Academy of Family Physicians representing physicians and medical students nationwide. It is the only medical society devoted solely to primary care.
