Philippine Medical Society of Northern California

The Philippine Medical Society of Northern California is a dynamic professional organization based in Foster City, CA, dedicated to advancing healthcare excellence within the Filipino-American medical community. Composed of physicians, nurses, pharmacists, therapists, technologists, and healthcare professionals throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, PMSNC delivers comprehensive continuing medical education (CME) programs through monthly meetings featuring high-caliber medical professors and presentations. The organization maintains eight permanent committees focused on membership development, professional education, scholarship administration, and medical missions, ensuring members receive ongoing opportunities for professional growth and development. PMSNC operates across four regional divisions—San Francisco/San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda/Contra Costa, and Napa/Solano/Monterey—coordinating services and activities that strengthen professional relationships among healthcare practitioners. Beyond clinical practice support, the organization provides direct medical assistance to elderly and indigent Filipino-Americans and other minority groups through medical-surgical missions both domestically and internationally. With biennial officer elections and a governance structure of twenty elected leaders, PMSNC maintains transparency and democratic participation among its diverse membership. The society's commitment to professional excellence is matched by its dedication to community health initiatives, including health fairs, free health screenings, and collaborative partnerships with regional healthcare organizations and foundations serving the Foster City and broader Bay Area communities.
