For more than 50 years, the CMA Foundation has sought to improve individual and community health by providing a vital link between physicians and their communities. Originally established as the charitable arm of the California Medical Association, the CMA Foundation eventually grew into one of California's leading advocates for improved community health. CMA Foundation's programs are designed to provide California physicians and other providers with the necessary tools and resources to enhance their effectiveness in achieving optimal health and well-being for their patients. Through its one-of-its-kind Network of Ethnic Physician Organizations (NEPO), a coalition of more than 50 ethnic physician organizations from across California, CMA Foundation is uniquely positioned to help decrease health disparities among California's growing ethnically and racially diverse populations.
The California Medical Association Foundation improves individual and community health through a partnership of leaders in medicine, related health professions and the community.
Network of Ethnic Physician Organizations (NEPO): NEPO brings together more than50 ethnic physician organizations from across California to create an empowered, unified voice of ethnic physicians and their organizations to promote diversity, access, and quality, in healthcare. NEPO is designed to identify strategies for building the capacity of Ethnic Physician Organizations, address health disparities and the social determinants of health, improve workforce diversity, engage in leadership development and to encourage physicians and other providers to be community advocates. NEPO hosts an annual Summit which brings together nationally recognized policy leaders, elected officials and physician leaders. This successful Summit draws over 150 physicians, other providers, and policy experts to learn best practices, share information, and network.
Pneumococcal Vaccine Improvement: The overall goal was to address local obstacles that limit eligible adult patients from receiving pneumococcal vaccination among communities of color and the providers that serve them, thus increasing the number of Los Angeles County residents who are vaccinated. The long-term goal was to improve the health and well-being of communities of color and reduce healthcare costs. The CMA Foundation addressed these obstacles by working with physician practices serving communities of color and low-income populations in Los Angeles County to participate in a 9-month project to increase adult pneumococcal immunizations by at least 12% in their practices. The CMA Foundation tracked adult pneumococcal vaccination rate data using the practice's electronic health record (EHR) to compare baseline data to final data at the end of the project. The CMA Foundation hosted in-person training sessions, conducted coaching sessions and performed site visits to educate participants about new practice protocols and tools to help practices increase pneumococcal vaccination rates.
Alliance Working for Antibiotic Resistance Education (AWARE) Project: For over 20 years, AWARE has been a national leader in addressing antibiotic resistance and appropriate antibiotic prescribing. -The AWARE expert clinical workgroup convenes to develop timely educational materials, commonly known as the "AWARE Toolkit," which promote the appropriate use of antibiotics in English and Spanish. -AWARE launched the AWARE Toolkit mobile app to provide easy access to the project's Adult and Pediatric Acute Respiratory Tract Infection Guidelines, which has been downloaded by thousands of providers in countries across the world. -The AWARE Project was cited as a Best Practice on appropriate treatment for children with viral upper respiratory tract infections by the California Department of Health Care Services. -The AWARE Project's Clinical Toolkit is utilized in 15 other states across the nation and is featured on the American Medical Association's website.
