President's Message |
Dear ATMA Members,
|
It gives me great pleasure and I feel
privileged to be the president of ATMA. Ours is an organization that started six
years back, by eleven dedicated physicians from Tamil Nadu. Through the combined
effort of member physicians, their spouses, and along with all our allied health
care members,we have managed to our current status of six hundred members strong.
|
|
We should continue to strive to include
new members and at the same time, encourage the current members to participate in
their local chapter meetings and events, and make a concerted effort to attend our
"National/Annual convention" held during the summer since 2005.
|
It is our mission, to provide health
care to the under privileged, under served and poor people of TamilNadu, the U.S.
and Tamils in any country, and provide any financial assistance toward their health
care. We are proud to announce that we have considered and supported many projects
and continue to provide financial assistance to a few projects on an annual basis.
It is essential that we continue to achieve our
goals, and consider projects that need both our financial and professional expertise.
As graduates of TamilNadu medical schools and Tamil physicians of medical schools
everywhere, and allied health care professionals, we are bound by enthusiasm and
commitment and stay united in this benevolence.
We should reach out to projects that range from
"cradle to grave “and not limit our resources to one particular specialty in our
medical field. It is also essential that we encourage our younger members to take
active role in our organization, so "The torch could be passed on". I intent to
carry out the duties of the President as dictated by the By- Laws of ATMA. It is
my goal to add new members to our organization; make them proud of their enrollment
in ATMA. I would like to get the members involved in the activities of the local
and national organization, participate in CME, and if they can donate any financial
contributions toward the various charitable projects accept them gracefully.
As a final comment, I implore that all of us,
as members, take active role in our organization with enthusiasm and generosity
and not cynicism, and proudly say we are members of ATMA. I am available at all
times to assist in anyway I can to our members and their families to the best of
my ability. My best wishes to every one in the upcoming Holiday Season.
