Pople reflects on his journey into advocacy, shares lessons learned as Missouri's MGMA legislative liaison, and explains why storytelling is one of the most powerful tools healthcare leaders can bring to lawmakers. Episode Takeaways Pople reflects on being named MGMA's 2026 Legislative Liaison of the Year and the mentors who helped launch his advocacy journey. Legislative liaisons serve as a bridge between healthcare organizations and government, translating complex policy issues into actionable insights for practice leaders. Healthcare professionals should not underestimate the value of their expertise when speaking with legislators, many of whom come from non-healthcare backgrounds. Effective advocacy combines three elements: a policy position, supporting data, and a compelling real-world story. Missouri MGMA partnered with the Missouri State Medical Association during White Coat Day to engage lawmakers on key healthcare issues. Prior authorization reform remains a major advocacy priority, highlighting both the challenges and importance of sustained legislative engagement. Staying informed about legislative developments helps practices prepare proactively for regulatory and operational changes rather than reacting after implementation. Outside of healthcare leadership, Adam and his wife operate a durable medical equipment business focused on mastectomy and lymphedema care, and he volunteers as an archery coach for elementary and middle school students.
