The Kentucky Medical Association works with affiliated groups to support the best practice of medicine in the Commonwealth.
The Kentucky Foundation for Medical Care, KMA’s charitable arm, is committed to improving the health of all Kentuckians through medical education and public health initiatives. The Foundation has provided grants to organizations that contribute to the public health of their communities and supports public health campaigns across the Commonwealth.
The Kentucky Physicians Political Action Committee (KPPAC) increases the medical community’s impact on the pro-medicine makeup of the Kentucky General Assembly. It works for public policy that makes it easier for physicians to focus on the provision of health care for their patients.
KMA Corporate Affiliates have priority over other companies for sponsorship of KMA events, including the KMA Annual Meeting, seminars and projects. The KMA Corporate Affiliate program offers two levels to meet your marketing needs and provides your company with 12-month exposure to the hard-to-reach physician market in Kentucky.

Thanks in large part to employee volunteers at MagMutual Insurance Company, two Atlanta-area non-profits are fulfilling their mission of serving others.
For more than 35 years, MagMutual, A KMA Corporate Affiliate, has served as a trusted advocate and strategic advisor to thousands of physicians and hospitals.
MagMutual encourages their employees to volunteer in their community.
One avenue is through their Dollars For Doers Program. When an employee volunteers 30 or more hours per year with an organization, MagMutual makes a one-time donation in the volunteer’s name of $250.
Employees can choose to volunteer at one of three organizations that best matches company values. Two of these organizations currently supported are MedShare and Good Samaritan Health Center.
Employees who volunteer at MedShare help sort and repack medical supplies that are shipped around the world.
“MagMutual is one of MedShare’s most consistent and dedicated volunteer partners, helping us sort through these donations and ensure that only the highest quality items are entered into our inventory,” said Jason Chernock, MedShare’s Director of Programs. “We could not fulfill our mission without the help of our volunteers, and MagMutual employees are some of our best.”
Employees who volunteer at The Good Samaritan Health Center pack hygiene supply kits for their weekly Homeless Clinic Program as well as help pack prenatal birthing kits. MagMutual also sends teams to work on Good Samaritan’s Urban Farm which supplies fresh, naturally grown produce for the local community.
“Thanks to MagMutual’s ongoing partnership, we are able to provide complimentary hygiene kits to our Homeless patients on Fridays,” said Veronica Squires, Chief Administrative Officer at The Good Samaritan Health Center. “When you’re living on the street, a weekly gift of socks, toothpaste, a washcloth, etc. goes a long way. The MagMutual team is always willing to roll up their sleeves and do some hard work on our one acre urban farm including planting, harvesting, washing, or mulching to keep our daily Farmer’s Market stocked with fresh produce for our patients and local community. Good Sam can’t do it alone, and thanks to awesome partners like MagMutual – we don’t have to!”
