OUR BEGINNINGS...
On an afternoon in November, 1977, a group of Filipino Physicians met to form an organization with three objectives, educational, scientific, and charitable. The early years were marked by growing pains but the PMA weathered a membership crisis to focus on lending medical assistance to the migrant workers of the Eastern Shores. The project, named the Mobile Clinic or the Vehicle of Hope, allowed the organization to make its mark as a leading proponent of volunteerism and of the physician's responsibilities in the care of the less fortunate in the population. By 1978, we had received our 501C-3 status from the Internal Revenue Service and were able to direct our fund-raising efforts to many worthwhile projects here and abroad including but not limited to health screening activities in the Hampton Roads area, on the Eastern Shores and Tangier Island; Operation Smile, the AHEC Program through the Eastern Virginia Medical School; various medical missions to the Philippines; the Chesapeake Care Clinic, the Old Dominion Student Cultural Center Project and Physicians for Peace. The organization also funded the PMA Foundation geared towards scholarships for medical students and Eastern Virginia Medical School and in the Philippines.
