The Prayer Breakfast on Sunday, July 18, 2021, from 9:30 am until 11:00 am EST, is designed to invoke the presence of God at the conventions of the National Medical Association (NMA) and the Auxiliary to the National Medical Association (ANMA). This is a time to encourage and pay tribute those who’ve transitioned in the previous year. This year’s program will feature the euphonious sounds of Ms. Kendall Isadore and The Christian Unity Baptist Church. The dynamic Pastor Kevin Stephens, M.D. will bring forth an enlightening sermon focusing on the good work of both the NMA and ANMA.

You will be engaged in a wonderful experience as you live through an elegant evening of pure pleasure and excitement. We wlll begin with a musical selection by one of America’s most talented violinists, Kendall Isadore, followed by examples of ‘was is’ and ‘can be’ for many women in America, as we learn about the contributions of three talented members of the Auxiliary to the National Medical Association. Not only were they the signatories of ANMA’s Articles of Incorporation, but they also made outstanding contributions to improving the lives of many individuals. They have provided an indelible imprint in community service. Following our tribute to them, we will proceed to a REAL LIVE AUCTION, where you may bid on that trip that you’ve always wanted or the piece of jewelry that is unforgettable. As we transition from one activity to another, we will be facilitated in preparing a cocktails and ‘mocktails’ from a well-recognized Mixologist.

About the National Medical Association

About NMA

The National Medical Association (NMA) is the collective voice of African American physicians and the leading force for parity and justice in medicine and the elimination of disparities in health. NMA is committed to improving the quality of health among minorities and disadvantaged people through its membership, professional development, community health education, advocacy, research and partnerships with federal and private agencies.

WHY I ATTEND THE NMA CONVENTION

The NMA Convention is a unique and empowering gathering of African Americans physicians and others of color in the health care fields. Because the NMA consists of multiple disciplines I am able to update in my field of Pediatrics as well as in other areas that are important for my own health and wellness! I am able to participate in substantive policy and political strategy discussions as well as reunion time with classmates and colleagues. Additionally it’s an opportunity to mentor students and residents of color. It is the one medical conference that I will continue to attend even when I retire from the clinical practice of Medicine.
