Membership
If you’re thinking about joining the Mecklenburg Medical Alliance and Endowment (MMAE), we’d love to have you become a member.
As you probably know, our organization was originally founded by a group of physicians’ spouses in 1934. While the majority of our membership still consists of physicians’ spouses, today we welcome anyone with an interest in building a healthier community.
Membership in MMAE offers an individual an opportunity to partake in a number of activities that benefit the health of the community, such as our current health project, The Lucky Hearts Campaign.
