About Houston Medical Forum

The Houston Medical Forum was founded in 1926 as a Houston doctors association for black doctors. Today it exists as a component society of the National Medical Association, Inc. and a branch of the Lone Star Medical Association. Its members consist predominantly of African American physicians and surgeons as well as attended by residents and medical students.

Our objectives are simple; as a group, we strive to promote the art and science of medicine; the betterment of the practice of medicine among its members; the stimulation of a civic and cultural element in the community; the fostering of social fellowship among the members, including the provision of scholarships to future black doctors / black doctor students.

The Houston Medical Forum mission is to promote community health and wellness in the greater Houston area; encourage research; and support current and future sustainability of physicians of African descent and the patients they serve through education, advocacy, community outreach, mentoring and collaboration.

The Houston Medical Forum vison is to advance health equity and diversity in medicine for our community.
