NCMSA Commits $50,000 to Charitable Clinics across the State



The board of directors approved to support the North Carolina Association of Free and Charitable Clinics (NCAFCC) for the calendar year 2022 with a donation of $50,000 to purchase point of care HbA1C machines used in the diagnosis and screening of diabetes and prediabetes as well as to monitor blood sugar levels. These funds also purchased supplies needed to run these tests. With this commitment, the NCMSA reached patients in all parts of the state who struggle with access to health care. Click here to see a map of the clinics supported by our donation.

We also encourage you to donate to the Health Education Opportunity Fund on our website to help us support efforts to improve the health of North Carolinians.

A message from Our 2024-25 President...

Dear Members and Fellow NC Citizens:

I am happy to take the role of president of the North Carolina Medical Society Alliance for a second term. I believe in our mission—that we are dedicated to advancing the health of North Carolinians through advocacy and action—and am energized to work with our dedicated and talented board to further that mission. Our focus continues to be mental health. One area we are concentrating on is conveying to healthcare practitioners that there is help for them when they are struggling with the stress of the job. This is because rates of physician suicide and burnout are rising.

Recently we have also focused on how we can assist those practicing rural medicine and working in our state’s charitable clinics. However, in 2024-2025, we will turn our efforts to our biggest challenge yet. As a board we must decide how to reshape the North Carolina Medical Society Alliance to make full use of our resources and be most effective in advancing the health of all North Carolinians and supporting families of those who keep North Carolina healthy. We are holding strategic planning sessions and hope to redesign the Alliance to make a greater impact in the state. If you are a member, please watch toward the end of this Alliance year as we update everyone on proposed changes. If you are not a member, we hope you will join us. We value your support.

Here's to good health!

Kirby Sheridan

2024-2025 President

he NCMSA Board thanks you for keeping our organization active not only by your valuable contribution but your continued support for our community. An organization that's relevant and valued by their members shares three common characters: tough-minded optimism, staying power and belief in a mission above all.

Our Alliance goals of yesterday remain valid today which are to support physicians and encourage fellowship among our members as well as to support each other in times of joy and adversity and reach out to potential members by offering programs and volunteer opportunities to all members.

Through our support of the N.C. Association of Free and Charitable Clinics and encouraging our members to participate in the local NCAFCC projects, we will continue our efforts to improve access to health care especially in rural areas of North Carolina.

This year exciting and informative programs will be offered to members via Zoom.

Watch your emails and our website for more information. Keep up with other members through Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/NCMSAlliance to join our private Facebook group so we can communicate easily.

I look forward to connecting with you. Please renew or join with your new membership.

With Regards, 

Meeti Nigam, President 2022-23
