Established in 1936, the ANMA’s mission is to enhance the quality of health and healthcare in America’s African-American communities. The Purpose of the ANMA is to operate exclusively for charitable and educational purposes in the areas of health, advocacy, and healthcare. In furtherance of these purposes, the Auxiliary works to create a greater interest in the National Medical Association (NMA) and serves the public in matters of health by developing and executing national programs and activities in areas such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and stroke, opioids, HIV/AIDS, women’s health, drug use and abuse, asthma, smoking cessation, immunization, traffic safety, breastfeeding – all in an effort to eliminate the health divide between people of color and the majority population in the United States.

Also, ANMA has provided scholarship assistance for medical and nursing school students enrolled in institutions of higher education and professional schools throughout the country.
