Ellie Paladine FMAA President PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE – January 2023 The Florida Medical Association Alliance, members of our County Alliances and state members, ended 2022 with a flurry of activities. We are off to a promising start for 2023. FMAA Membership 2023 dues are now being accepted. Join now to support the organization and receive the benefits of membership. You can now gift a membership in the FMAA for a friend or new physician spouse. https://www.myfmaa.org/membership Don’t allow your membership in this unique organization to lapse. During the two years of the Covid pandemic many of us set aside social and organizational activities. The FMAA is stepping up its program activities for members and enhanced membership benefits. Your participation on committees or in leadership roles is welcome, but if you aren’t inclined to add another activity to your schedule, please consider paying membership dues to support FMAA activities and programs. If you are a member of a County Alliance, please also consider joining the FMAA to support health-related programs throughout Florida. The FMAA is a unique organization for spouses/partners of physicians. Working together we can do more for health-related initiatives in Florida and in your own communities. I welcome invitations to join you at any functions or meetings in your community. As a statewide organization and with the help of technology, we have all learned to communicate virtually. However, there is nothing better or more fulfilling than face to face interaction. I look forward to meeting many of you in the coming year. NOW ACCEPTING 2023 DUES PAYMENTS! HEALTH PROJECTS DOUBLE GOOD POPCORN FUNDRAISER Under the leadership of board member, Denise Allen, the FMAA held its first fundraiser to support mental health programs – our focus health project for 2022-2023.
