Overcoming Obstacles — Mississippi State Medication Association Foundation, Inc.
The Mississippi State Medical Association (MSMA), established in 1856, is the largest physician advocacy organization in Mississippi, representing over 5,000 physicians and medical students. Its mission is to advocate for members and their patients, engaging in initiatives addressing critical health issues like diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and COVID-19.
The Mississippi State Medical Association proposes to enhance patient connections to community resources through three goals: investing in and implementing technology to allow for streamlined social needs screening, building human capacity to support patient navigation and care coordination by engaging community health workers to identify patient needs, and fostering partnerships with social services organizations to create a comprehensive referral network.
