David D. Vineyard, MD, a Nacogdoches obstetrician and gynecologist in practice for 19 years, was reconfirmed as a vice councilor for District 10 of the Texas Medical Association (TMA) Board of Councilors.
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. Vineyard is a member of the Nacogdoches-San Augustine County Medical Society.

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.
