Kenneth Higby, MD, an Odessa maternal and fetal medicine physician, obstetrician, and gynecologist in practice for 27 years, was appointed as a consultant to the Texas Medical Association (TMA) Committee on Reproductive, Women’s and Perinatal Health.
TMA’s House of Delegates policymaking body met virtually on Saturday to ratify the last of this year’s TMA elections. The COVID-19 pandemic forced TMA to alter its governance and meeting processes. Physician leaders have used virtual meetings and special governance provisions this year to elect or appoint physicians and medical students to one or more of TMA’s 25 boards, councils, and committees. The physicians are responsible for studying health care-related issues and making recommendations on important health care policy affecting Texas patients and their physicians.
Dr. Higby is a member of the Ector County Medical Society.
Read the descriptions and charges of each TMA board, council, and committee, including the Committee on Reproductive, Women’s and Perinatal Health.
TMA is the largest state medical society in the nation, representing more than 53,000 physician and medical student members. It is located in Austin and has 110 component county medical societies around the state. TMA’s key objective since 1853 is to improve the health of all Texans.
