Welcome to ALMDA, the Alabama state chapter of AMDA – The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine. Our mission is to provide the highest quality medical care and compassionate service in Alabama’s long-term care facilities, which are among the most challenging medical environments.
By joining both ALMDA and AMDA, members can access a range of benefits, including free webinars, national advocacy, networking opportunities, clinical practice guidelines, and specialized education designed to help them succeed in the long-term care field. We encourage you to explore membership in both organizations to benefit from the educational opportunities and professional connections available fully.
We offer various membership categories to accommodate healthcare providers at all levels of patient care. If you have any questions or need assistance in selecting the right membership category, please get in touch with our Director of Specialty Society Management, Meghan Martin, at mmartin@alamedical.org.
We invite you to join us in our collective efforts to prevent suffering and advocate for our frail and vulnerable population.
