Recognition of HCMS Membership Advocates

HCMS established a program to recognize individual members who give of their time to advocate for memberships with HCMS and Texas Medical Association (TMA). We recognizes these physicians for their dedication in assisting with our membership recruitment efforts to strengthen the voice of medicine in Texas. This strong unified voice enables us to have a significant impact on medical and socioeconomic issues that affect physicians and their patients.

HCMS growth depends on its members. If you are interested in helping grow our membership, contact Ahuva Terk at ahuva_terk@hcms.org. Thank you for your support.
