Overview

Mission

To support and represent the interests of physicians of color, and physicians caring for minority patients, who are practicing or reside in the New England Area. At NEMA we envision a powerful collective voice of Black physicians dedicated to achieving justice in medicine. NEMA is dedicated to creating a community that advocates to eliminate health disparities, provides career development opportunities, implements mentoring programs and service through collaborative, community-based projects.

What it reported doing in 2023

NEMA held 4 public facing events to share info about NEMA and major health concerns in the Black community with the general public. Over 1000 people were impacted by these. NEMA had 3 Black physician community building events for networking and relief from isolation and loneliness. At least 40 physicians participated. There were 2 events held for physicians to discuss a specific health issue. At least 20 participants.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
