The HCMA Physician Family Alliance is a group of physicians' spouses, partners and family members, whose aim is to promote good health and health education, to engage in charitable community endeavors, and to foster friendly relations among physicians’ families and the communities in which they live. We also have a Friends of Medicine membership category for individuals who support the mission of the Alliance, but are not a part of the Family of Medicine as presented above. We gather throughout the year in support of member initiatives consistent with our mission and to socialize in a supportive atmosphere.
