85th Texas Legislative Wins


During the regular 85th Texas Legislative session, TMA remained steadfast in championing medicine's priorities and the health of all Texans. Read TMA's regular session summary.

The TMA Foundation is soliciting funds to use for grants to help reestablish patient care in physician practices in federally designated disaster areas damaged by Hurricane Harvey. The program will help cover expenses (not covered by insurance or other funding) for relocating or rehabilitating a physician's medical office. This may include replacing equipment, aiding needed staff, rebuilding patient records, and other similar needs all towards the goal of helping physicians once again treat patients.  Learn More
