Sinkler Miller Medical Association
About Sinkler Miller Medical Association
The Sinkler Miller Medical Association was formed in 1969 by physicians located in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties who saw the need to unite and form a professional medical association. Our objectives includes the improvement of the quality of health care in the community, advancement of the art as well as the science of medicine, and the maintenance of a high standard of medical ethics. The association was named after two physicians who exemplified these objectives and were deeply committed to the delivery of quality health care to the Black community.
Sinkler Miller Medical Association was formed to improve the health care of African-American and other minority individuals in the Bay Area, as well as attract and retain African-American physicians and other health care providers to the area or, within under-served communities.
