Legislation
Our members develop awareness of legislative issues affecting health care today through frequent online updates and alerts, educational workshops, and advocacy training.

Foundations
The Alliance is committed to the MMS & Alliance Charitable Foundation, which awards grants to non-profit organizations to creatively address issues that affect the health and welfare of the community and benefit the medically uninsured.  The Alliance also supports the American Medical Association Foundation, which provides funds directly to medical schools, as well as monies for research grants, scholarships, and student loans.

Support for the medical family and shared concerns for the health of our communities unite our members.  Your membership impacts the health of America and the future of medicine.
