About Philippine Medical Association Of Southern California
Based in Whittier, California, the Philippine Medical Association of Southern California (PMASC) has been a cornerstone of the Filipino medical community since its founding in 1971. This nonprofit organization brings together physicians of Filipino heritage and affinity who share a commitment to serving not only their professional community but also the broader populations they treat. PMASC's mission extends beyond professional networking to encompass meaningful humanitarian work and community service that reflects the values of its diverse membership. The organization recognizes that its members represent multiple generations and educational backgrounds, which is why it maintains dedicated chapters organized by Philippine medical school affiliations. This structure honors members' educational roots while creating spaces for mentorship, cultural connection, and professional solidarity. By serving the economic, educational, and humanitarian needs of both its members and the community at large, PMASC has established itself as a leading forum for Filipino voices in Southern California's medical landscape. The organization's tax-exempt status and federal approval underscore its legitimacy and commitment to serving the public good. For nearly five decades, PMASC has remained dedicated to fostering excellence in healthcare while strengthening the bonds within the Filipino American medical profession throughout Southern California.
