As physicians, we’ve chosen a calling defined by service to our patients, our peers, and our community. At the Columbus Medical Association, that calling unites us. Together, we advocate for our profession, support one another through the challenges of modern medicine and society, and lead meaningful efforts to improve the health of our patients and our community.

A few weeks ago, we came together to celebrate that spirit of leadership at our annual celebration, recognizing physicians and advocates whose dedication shows us how deeply our collective efforts impact both physicians and the people we serve. Whether improving access to care, training for emergencies, or building physician well-being and leadership, this community is making a real difference.

Your leadership and involvement are needed now more than ever. Decisions are being made at the state and national level that impact our ability to practice, grow in our careers, and adequately care for our patients. The most vulnerable in our community are struggling to find jobs, get health care, and put food on the table. That’s why it’s so important that we stand together to support one another, to speak with a unified voice, and to ensure that the needs of both physicians and patients remain at the center of every decision.

If you’re already a member of the CMA, I sincerely thank you. Simply being part of this community strengthens our voice and fuels the work that lifts us all. I ask you to please renew your membership today.

If you haven’t joined yet, I encourage you to get involved. There are so many ways to make a difference through volunteering, mentoring future physicians, supporting our Foundation’s work to invest in the health of Central Ohio, and much more. Find more details on membership here.

When physicians come together, change follows. Let’s continue to lead, to serve, and to support one another, because the health of our community depends on it.
