New to community outreach or a seasoned pro? Wherever you are on the spectrum, TMA’s outreach programs meeting during TexMed is for you. Find out what it takes to host a local Hard Hats for Little Heads, Be Wise – Immunize, or Walk With a Doc event and learn from others who’ve hosted events.

You already know that TMA is committed to improving the health of all Texans. But how much do you know about TMA outreach programs that can help not only your patients but everybody in your community? TMA supports a variety of outreach programs and continuing medical education (CME) to help you care for your whole community.

The Texas Medical Association Foundation (TMAF) invites proposals from “eligible applicants” for a grant to fully or partially fund a health improvement program that focuses on one of TMA’s current public health or science priority areas. 

The program works with physicians, medical students, and TMA Alliance members to improve vaccination rates in Texas through education and hands-on immunization clinics.

Be Wise — Immunize is made possible through a grant from TMA Foundation. 

A properly fitting helmet can prevent almost all head injuries — up to 85 percent — the most common cause of disability or death in a bicycle crash. Since 1994, TMA has given away more than 235,000 helmets to Texas children.

Walk With a Doc Texas is made possible through a grant from the TMA Foundation.
