Turning Success Into Impact: Charitable Giving Strategies for Physicians

Posted By Columbus Medical Association - CMA, Friday, March 20, 2026
Updated: Tuesday, March 17, 2026

The Columbus Medical Association (CMA) Foundation is pleased to invite central Ohio physicians to its first informational speaker session focused on planned giving and charitable strategies for physicians. 

Many physicians reach a point in their careers where their balance sheet includes assets beyond their current lifestyle needs. On Tuesday, April 8 at 6:00 pm, CMA Foundation partner and presenter, WesBanco Wealth Management, will discuss how thoughtful planning will allow physicians to support meaningful causes while also strengthening long-term financial and estate planning goals. Topics will include: 

  • Charitable Remainder Trusts 
  • Qualified Charitable Distributions from IRAs 
  • Charitable Lead Trusts 

This session is offered at no cost to central Ohio physicians and partners. Refreshments will be provided. 

Click here to register.

This is the first in a series of sessions hosted by the CMA Foundation to provide practical planned giving and charitable strategies for physicians. Additional session dates will be announced soon.

New Member Benefit: Save on Everyday Practice Expenses with Savvik Buying Group

Updated: Wednesday, March 18, 2026

We are excited to announce a new member benefit through Savvik Buying Group, giving physicians access to national purchasing power and preferred pricing on products and services your practice uses every day. 

Savvik Buying Group is a non-profit organization that works with organizations and associations to provide group purchasing discounts to their members. Our affiliate COTS has partnered with Savvik for several years to provide discounts to its members, which range from 10-15% off retail prices. 

Through this expanded partnership to CMA members, you can now access discounts from trusted vendors, including: 

  • Henry Schein: Dental and medical supplies 
  • Medline: Medical supply products 
  • Airgas: Gases and safety supplies 
  • Cintas: Uniforms, first aid & safety, fire protection equipment, and cleaning supplies 
  • Dash Medical: Disposable gloves 
  • FedEx: Shipping solutions 

The benefit is designed to help physicians reduce overhead, improve purchasing efficiency, and strengthen practice operations. Purchasing through Savvik also helps the CMA—we receive a small percent of any revenue purchased through our membership which will be used to support our programs.  

You can browse their vendors here. If there is a product you need and it is not in their store, Savvik representatives may be able to help you find the product at a discount. 

How to Get Started 

  • Complete the online registration form. Under “Organization/Agency,” you must enter “CMA Physicians.” 
  • Your registration information will be sent to a Savvik membership specialist, who will add you to the CMA account 
  • You will receive an email with your member number and information on their vendors and purchasing.
