NCMSA Commits $50,000 to Charitable Clinics across the State

The board of directors approved to support the North Carolina Association of Free and Charitable Clinics (NCAFCC) for the calendar year 2022 with a donation of $50,000 to purchase point of care HbA1C machines used in the diagnosis and screening of diabetes and prediabetes as well as to monitor blood sugar levels. These funds also purchased supplies needed to run these tests. With this commitment, the NCMSA reached patients in all parts of the state who struggle with access to health care. Click here to see a map of the clinics supported by our donation.

We also encourage you to donate to the Health Education Opportunity Fund on our website to help us support efforts to improve the health of North Carolinians.

Dear Past, Present, and Prospective Members,

I am honored to be serving as the NCMSA Alliance President for 2023-24. Our board and members all hope to continue being a force for good as we celebrate the journey of our past 100 years and look to the future.

You can take a visual journey through the long-term impact of the Alliance by clicking the NCMS Alliance webpage covering past centuries by decades and see how far we have come! https://www.ncmsalliance.org/. With the support of our County Medical Societies and the County Alliances, the Alliance brings unique understanding and perspective to the challenges faced by today’s physician families.

Our goal is to be a leader in health education and non-profit support. Due to the pandemic, we’ve all rediscovered the significance of health awareness and togetherness. Our state network helps provide the backbone.

Join our Zoom meetings as we focus on member engagement by emphasizing our connection and mission. I can say with grateful appreciation that “It’s all about Making a Difference” and leaving the world in a better place.

Our board is of service to you. If you have an interest in serving at the State level, please contact me. Our committees welcome dedicated individuals. Involvement does not have deadlines nor require serving as a Board Member. Please contact me with inquiries and or ideas.

With sincerity,

Meeti Nigam

2023-24 NCMS Alliance President

The NCMSA Board thanks you for keeping our organization active not only by your valuable contribution but your continued support for our community. An organization that's relevant and valued by their members shares three common characters: tough-minded optimism, staying power and belief in a mission above all.

Our Alliance goals of yesterday remain valid today which are to support physicians and encourage fellowship among our members as well as to support each other in times of joy and adversity and reach out to potential members by offering programs and volunteer opportunities to all members.

Through our support of the N.C. Association of Free and Charitable Clinics and encouraging our members to participate in the local NCAFCC projects, we will continue our efforts to improve access to health care especially in rural areas of North Carolina.

This year exciting and informative programs will be offered to members via Zoom.

Watch your emails and our website for more information. Keep up with other members through Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NCMSAlliance to join our private Facebook group so we can communicate easily.

I look forward to connecting with you. Please renew or join with your new membership.

With Regards,

Meeti Nigam, President 2022-23
