Celebrating Graduation with members of our Youth Advisory Council Approach
- The The Columbus Medical Association Foundation has redefined its approach to philanthropy and philanthropic relationships. It will now rely on its years of grantmaking experience and health care expertise to seek out the organizations it wishes to fund in support of the mission and new funding priorities.
