CCMA fosters collaboration among physicians from diverse backgrounds, allowing us to share experiences and advocate for meaningful change in our community.

As the president of a small democratic group on the central coast, I rely heavily on the Central Coast Medical Association as a forum for a larger voice. Not only does it have the resources we need when interacting with these massive medical corporations, but it’s an organization that is centered around the time-honored relationship between a physician and their patients. CCMA helps us to better recognize the struggles facing our community and creates a collaborative environment to help find solutions.
