TMA Alliance
The Texas Medical Association Alliance (TMAA) is a group of individuals passionate about protecting the future of medicine through community service and legislative advocacy. Founded in 1918 by physician spouses, the Alliance has grown to include physicians, residents, and medical students. TMAA provides a community of support, mentorship, and lasting friendship in the Family of Medicine.
For decades, Alliance members have worked to improve the health of Texans. TMAA brings TMA-sponsored programs like Hard Hats for Little Heads, Walk With a Doc, and Be Wise - Immunize to their communities, in addition to promoting TMAA's own initiatives. In spring of 2019, TMAA launched an Opioid Take Back Symposium, providing drug disposal kits and informational brochures to attendees and bringing speakers to share firsthand experience and expertise on addiction. TMAA is also piloting the Texas BookShare program, where physicians "prescribe" books to children to educate them on healthy lifestyles.
TMA Foundation
The TMA Foundation was created with a mission "to fund initiatives with the power to help physicians create a healthier future for all Texans." These initiatives focus on TMA's public health and science priorities: health promotion and disease prevention; targeted public health issues; science-based clinical decision making; public health advocacy and resources; scientific information; and border health. They are based on physician expertise and medical science, and encourage effective public-private partnerships.
