Introducing CMDA's Advocacy
As you are probably aware, one core aspect of CMDA’s mission is our dedication to serving as a Christian voice on today's healthcare topics by speaking to the government, media, church and public on behalf of our members. We fight for the rights of Christian healthcare professionals daily.
