Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Cincinnati Catholic Medical Association represents a community of physicians united by their commitment to living out their Catholic faith within the practice of medicine. Founded in 2018, this guild emerged from a rich tradition of Catholic healthcare leadership and now serves as a cornerstone for faith-centered medical professionals in the region. The organization chose St. Gianna Molla, a pediatrician, wife, and mother, as its patroness—a powerful symbol of how healthcare professionals can serve others with heroic love while maintaining balance across all aspects of their lives.
At its core, the Cincinnati Catholic Medical Association exists to form and support both current and future physicians and healthcare professionals in living and promoting Catholic principles within their medical practice. The guild provides more than professional networking; it offers a spiritual community where members grow together in faith, maintain ethical integrity, and discover how to find the presence of Christ in their work. By hosting regular meetings, spiritual retreats, and educational events, the organization creates meaningful connections among healthcare professionals who share common values and a desire to serve their patients with compassion rooted in Catholic teaching.
The Cincinnati guild is deeply invested in serving the local church and community while supporting peers in healthcare. Members include family medicine physicians, pediatricians, emergency medicine specialists, and other healthcare professionals who are dedicated to caring for underserved populations and advancing Catholic healthcare principles. Through fellowship, education, and service, the Cincinnati Catholic Medical Association builds a strong network of physicians and students who inspire and support one another in their shared calling to minister to others with excellence and faith.
