Albanian American Medical Society
About Albanian American Medical Society
Founded in Burlington, MA in 2008, the Albanian American Medical Society represents a historic milestone for healthcare professionals of Albanian descent in the United States. Born from the vision of Dr. Lindita Çoku and a dedicated group of Albanian physicians, AAMS emerged to address a longstanding need for professional organization, intellectual networking, and cultural connection within the Albanian medical community. The society honors a rich legacy of Albanian healthcare contributions in America, tracing back to early 20th-century immigrants who brought traditional healing practices and pioneering medical expertise to Boston. Today, AAMS carries forward this tradition of compassion and service by supporting underserved populations on both sides of the Atlantic. The organization's mission centers on humanitarian work, providing medical missionary services, health education, and charitable care to communities in need. AAMS creates meaningful partnerships between American academic medical institutions and healthcare systems in Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia, and Montenegro, fostering mutual learning and professional growth. By mentoring emerging healthcare professionals and facilitating educational exchanges, the society strengthens the capacity of medical systems in Albanian territories while enriching the professional experiences of its U.S.-based members. Operating as a democratically-governed, legally recognized non-profit, AAMS remains committed to its founding principle of advancing healthcare quality, promoting professional excellence, and maintaining the cultural and linguistic bonds that connect Albanian medical professionals across continents.
