Advocate for Health: How the CMA and its Affiliates Utilize Public Policy to Benefit Patients and the Community
The Columbus Medical Association and our Affiliates (COTS, PCC, PLA, CMAF, and HCGC) work hard to address specific needs in our community while utilizing our advocacy efforts to support all that our affiliates do. 

Take a moment to watch these three short videos to learn more about advocacy at the CMA and how any physician can become involved.
Congratulations to HCGC on Two Years of the HUB!
CMA affiliate Healthcare Collaborative of Greater Columbus (HCGC) is celebrating two years of the HUB!

The HUB is different from other referral networks or programs in Ohio because it tracks risks, connections, and outcomes via "pathways" and a specialized technology system.

Another of our affiliates, the Physicians CareConnection (PCC), utilizes the HUB daily, to better serve Central Ohio's vulnerable population.

By providing this innovative model to the community, HCGC continues its mission to increase optimal health for all in our region by proactively addressing social determinants of health and increase health equity in Central Ohio.
