Media and Community Relations

Article II of the Fairfield County Medical Association bylaws states the purposes of the Association, which include enlightening the public in matters of health and promoting the health of the community. As a professional membership organization representing almost 2,000 physicians who are dedicated to a healthier Fairfield County, the Association is uniquely positioned as a valuable media resource. The Association is part of a coalition with five city medical societies - Greenwich, Stamford, Norwalk, Bridgeport and Danbury - representing all medical specialties in Fairfield County. In addition, the Association is part of the federation with the Connecticut State Medical Society and, through it, with other state medical societies and the American Medical Association.

The Fairfield County Medical Association believes a well informed public is a healthier public, and a healthier public is our goal.
