Welcome Area

Welcome to Region IV,one of six regions of the National Medical Association. The National Medical Association was established in October of 1895 and is the largest and oldest national professional organization representing over 22,000 African-American physicians in the United States and the Virgin Islands. The members include primary care physicians, medical sub-specialists and surgical specialists.

The NMA is geographically divided into six regions. Region IV includes the following states: Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. Each of the states within Region IV has local/city affiliate societies.

Our Mission is to continue to be committed to improving the health status and outcomes of minorities and the medically underserved. While the NMA has historically focused on health issues related to African Americans, its principles, goals, initiatives and philosophies address and benefit all Americans. The NMA is committed to the elimination of health disparities and the promotion of healthy lifestyles.
