"I joined the medical society not entirely sure what to expect or how it might impact my daily work. Then the pandemic struck—and everything changed. My colleagues and I were scrambling, doing everything we could to secure supplies for practices that were hanging by a thread. In those moments, access to PPE wasn’t just important; it was literally a matter of life or death.
After exhausting every avenue I could think of, I reached out to SBCMS and CMA as something of a last hope. The first question they asked was, “Do you have a truck or an SUV?” I’ll never forget that moment. What followed was beyond anything I imagined—I drove away with enough PPE and medical supplies to keep our office safe and operational for years. It was the first time I truly understood that the medical society wasn’t just an organization; it was a lifeline. A partner who showed up when it mattered most.
To this day, SBCMS and CMA remain my trusted “go-to” for practice solutions, funding opportunities, GME expansion, and support for the patients we serve. I truly cannot imagine practicing medicine without their collaboration, advocacy, and unwavering commitment to physicians."
