About Atlanta Medical Association, Inc.
In 1890, a group of African American health care professionals was organized known as the Atlanta Medical Association of Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists. The organization was formed to help Black healthcare professionals navigate the oppressive environment in which they tried to practice. Despite being marginalized by the majority organizations of the day, they understood how important it was to have their own medical society to help them deal with the issues of the time.
Since 1890 our mission has been to make healthcare universally accessible and attainable for all. We empower underrepresented minority communities to achieve health equity by mentoring the pipeline of future minority physicians, and by serving as vocal advocates for our network of members and patients
