Romanian Medical Society of New York
About Romanian Medical Society of New York
The Romanian Medical Society of New York represents a powerful legacy of community building and mutual support within the Romanian-American medical profession. Established as a forum for discussion and professional cooperation, the organization was conceived to strengthen the Romanian community on Long Island, NY while honoring the contributions of immigrant healthcare professionals. Dr. Napoleon Savescu's founding vision created a gathering place where Romanian medical professionals could pursue their careers while maintaining cultural identity and giving back to their community. Over its history, the Society has grown into a respected Medical Association that transcends its original expectations, evolving from a close-knit group of 150 members into a meaningful institution serving multiple generations of Romanian-Americans. The organization embodies a philosophy of reciprocal support—members help one another advance professionally while the Society collectively addresses community health needs through scholarships for medical students, financial assistance for patients, and educational programs that bridge cultural and professional worlds. What distinguishes the Romanian Medical Society of New York is its commitment to both individual professional growth and broader community welfare. Members spanning cardiology, dentistry, psychology, and internal medicine share knowledge, celebrate their shared heritage, and create economic and social opportunities within their professional network. The Society's work in Long Island reflects a deeper commitment to building healthy communities—not just through excellent medical practice, but through the bonds of shared culture, mutual aid, and professional excellence that connect Romanian-American healthcare providers across generations.
