A nonprofit collaboration of more than 150 physician spouses, the Charleston County Medical Society Alliance (CCMSA) works to improve Charleston’s quality of life, empowering the health and well being of its citizens and building stronger communities. CCMSA reaches thousands of lives each year through health education, legislative advocacy, fundraising and the administration of community grants and scholarships.
CCMSA is thrilled to announce its driving force and inspiration for 2011-2012: disease prevention through the administration of health and wellness screenings. From fundraising events to hands-on volunteer work at the grassroots level, the Alliance is proud to support the efforts of three nonprofit organizations dedicated to providing free medical care and health education resources to medically underserved populations across Charleston.
