Indiana became the first state in the nation to enact comprehensive medical malpractice reform 50 years ago. The law addressed rising lawsuits, skyrocketing insurance premiums, and physicians leaving the profession or refusing high-risk specialties. These doctors were starting their service to Hoosier patients. ISMA is proud to honor and celebrate our 50-year physicians:
