Serving the Cumming, Georgia community and surrounding areas, the Georgia Chapter of the Association of Physicians of Pakistani Descent of North America represents a vibrant network of medical professionals united by heritage, values, and compassionate service. Since APPNA's founding in 1976, the organization has grown to become one of North America's largest ethnic medical societies, with the Georgia Chapter playing a vital leadership role in the Pakistan diaspora. GA APPNA members are deeply embedded in local community organizations and charitable initiatives, demonstrating a profound commitment to healthcare access and social responsibility. The chapter supports the Clarkston Community Health Center and operates a free dispensary serving the area's most vulnerable populations. Throughout the year, GA APPNA physicians organize health fairs, raise funds for diverse charitable causes, and participate in international medical relief work through partnerships with organizations like UNICEF. Members contribute to food and blanket drives for homeless populations, provide Ramadan rations and Eid gifts for those in need, and support disaster relief efforts globally. Beyond direct patient care, GA APPNA fosters professional growth through business meetings, networking opportunities, and educational advancement programs. The organization partners with local legislators on healthcare policy, advocates for community health needs, and administers scholarship funds to support the next generation of medical professionals. GA APPNA embodies a mission of delivering excellent healthcare irrespective of race, color, creed, or gender, creating a platform where Pakistani-origin physicians and dentists can unite their professional skills with meaningful community engagement and humanitarian service.
