About Us
In the spirit of collaboration and walking the walk, Region I and Region VI of the National Medical Association have joined together to convene their Annual Regional Meeting in 2025.
The East meets West of Regional meetings will be held at the Radison Grenada Beach Resort, Grenada, Eastern Caribbean May 22-26, 2025.
The theme of the Meeting is Health Care Navigation: Breaking Silos for Better Health Outcomes.
The National Medical Association (NMA) promotes the collective interests of physicians and patients of African descent. This mission is carried out by serving as the collective voice of physicians of African descent and a leading force for parity and justice in medicine, elimination of health disparities and promotion of optimal health.
For the first time in recent history Regions I and VI are joining in an annual meeting.
Region I
Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virgin Islands
Region VI
Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wyoming
This partnership is expected to attract approximately 250 attendees. Breaking silos in health care is critical to creating a more integrated system that enhances communication and collaboration among various stakeholders, including providers, patients, communities and community resources. Health care navigation is essentially the process of helping patients and their providers effectively move through the complex health care system to access services, resources, and information that is needed for better health outcomes.
We look forward to welcoming you to the “Spice Island” where in addition to earning category I CME credits you can network with colleagues from different regions, seize a respite from your day to day, and unwind and recharge to continue the fight for parity and justice.
Sincerely,
Monique DeFour Jones, MD – Chair Region I
Khadija Lang, MD – Chair Region VI
