Vision

Building Healthy Communities and Supporting the Family of Medicine

What We Do

Established in 1927, the TMA Alliance has a nearly one-hundred-year history of supporting physician families and advocating for healthcare in our Tennessee communities. The specific activities change over time, but the goals and benefits of alliance participation remain the same. 

Support | The TMA Alliance provides support for physician families as they navigate situations unique to the medical profession through medical school, residency, practice, and retirement years.

Friendship | Participation in the TMA Alliance forms friendships among physician spouses who understand the challenges of medical marriages and representing the family of medicine in the community.

Connection | The TMA Alliance prioritizes communication and connection between our local alliances and the other state alliances across the country that form the national alliance.

Partnership | The foundation of our work is forming partnerships with healthcare entities in our state to build healthy communities in Tennessee.

Mentorship | Experienced alliance members are able to offer a valuable perspective on alliance activities, medical families, and healthcare issues in a mentorship role to newer physician spouses. 

Leadership | Medical alliances offer leadership development at the local, state, and national levels and encourage service on alliance teams.

Volunteer | As an alliance member, you can help lead community health promotions projects, philanthropic efforts, and legislative advocacy with the goal of improving healthcare for citizens in our state.
