2022 Annual Conference a Success!
The North Carolina Medical Group Management Association (NCMGMA) came together last week in Wilmington, May 18-20, 2022, for our Annual Conference at the Wilmington Convention Center and Embassy Suites Riverside. Over 245 attendees, speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors enjoyed continuing education from some of healthcare’s finest thought leaders, participated in essential networking events with peers and old friends, honored outstanding industry achievement with our annual awards, and experienced the sold-out exhibit hall full of Alliance sponsor products and services driving healthcare management innovation and excellence to the next level.
Thank you to everyone who pulled away from their busy practices to join us. Thank you to all our speakers and exhibitors for sharing your knowledge and expertise and thank you to our sponsors for your continued support of our organization: we couldn’t do it without you. And, lastly, thank you to our volunteers for leading the organization and keeping us moving in the right direction: your hard work and dedication does not go unnoticed.

Community Service Project
Snack Packs for NourishNC
At the close of the morning educational sessions on Thursday, May 19th, NCMGMA teamed up with NourishNC to make snack packs for children in need in North Carolina’s New Hanover County. NourishNC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to provide healthy food to hungry children, empowering them to succeed in the classroom and in their community. In the end, attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, and NCMGMA staff and volunteers made over 400 snack packs for NourishNC. Thank you to everyone who participated in this essential service project!
