Welcome to the Mecklenburg Medical Alliance & Endowment Website.
MMAE is an independent nonprofit with a mission to advocate for a healthier Charlotte-Mecklenburg community. We’ve been around for over 75 years and through our Endowment, MMAE has donated over $1 million to community health projects.

Our focus for 2009-2010 is
REDISCOVER YOUR GOOD HEALTH.
MMAE wants to help the Charlotte community get back on the “good health” track!

To kick off our campaign, MMAE asked a crime writer to help us take a closer look at our bones. Yes, you read that right!

Author Kathy Reichs will speak to Alliance members at a book signing and reception in mid-September. Ms. Reichs is the inspiration for the television series Bones and she

serves as national spokesperson for the National Osteoporosis Society. With the help of Charlotte Orthopedic, we’re offering free bone density testing to attendees.

Also on the calendar, MMAE members will tour the new Levine Children’s Hospital.

We want to learn more about this state-of-the-art new health facility and how medicine is helping children return to good health.

To get women back on the good health track, MMAE’s health initiatives will also include a program called “Women's Health By Design,” to be held at the Presbyterian Hospital Women’s Center. Research has made available new information about women’s health that aims to make women feel better at any stage of life.

One of the most exciting aspects of our REDISCOVER effort, MMAE will host an educational luncheon and lecture in April with guest speaker Chris Crowley, a co-author of the
Younger Next Year
New York Times Bestselling books, Younger Next Year for Men and Younger Next Year for Women. Co-authored with physician Henry S. Lodge, MD, this witty, humorous book has been described as “life-changing advice on how to stay fit and healthy
Younger Next Year for Women
well past one’s retirement years.” Of course, it also includes things men and women can do in their younger years to ensure good health though out their lives.

MMAE and MEDIC have teamed up to donate lifesaving AEDs (automated external defibrillators) and training in their uses, as well as CPR, to non-profits and schools in Mecklenburg County.

There’s more in the works that you won’t want to miss. Join us on what may be the most important journey of your life.

Let us help you
REDISCOVER YOUR GOOD HEALTH.

MMAE Is Turning Over a New Leaf... Actually, We're Turning Over Two!

In 2009, MMAE decided to "go green" and move to all online communications. We launched new websites to support the organization (MMAEonline.com and a Members' Website for dues-paying members) and our newsletter, Prognewsis, is now sent via email.

Why the change to an online format?

Simply put...to save the trees and the fees! We hope you'll support this major effort by MMAE to be good custodians of not only health but also our planet.
