About Armenian American Medical Association of Boston
The Armenian American Medical Association (AAMA) of Boston is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing healthcare excellence within Armenian communities across New England while supporting the professional aspirations of its members. Headquartered in Wellesley, MA, AAMA has maintained its commitment to serving Armenian American physicians and healthcare professionals since 1972. The organization's mission extends beyond professional development to encompass meaningful community engagement and international collaboration. AAMA works to improve healthcare delivery, medical education, and research not only throughout New England but also in Armenia, establishing partnerships with colleagues abroad to strengthen healthcare systems in the homeland. The association recognizes that healthcare professionals have a responsibility to their communities and actively assists the Armenian American lay community by providing guidance on health issues and medical education. AAMA's strategic initiatives reflect its values of mentorship, community service, and professional growth, with particular emphasis on supporting young Armenian Americans pursuing medical careers through scholarship opportunities. The organization also coordinates with sister healthcare organizations and international partners to address humanitarian needs and promote sustainable healthcare improvements in Armenia and Artsakh. By fostering strong professional collaborations and social interactions among members, AAMA creates an environment where Armenian American healthcare professionals can thrive while contributing meaningfully to patient care and medical advancement. The association's comprehensive approach—combining local professional support with international healthcare initiatives—demonstrates a deep commitment to serving both the New England Armenian community and the broader Armenian diaspora.
