The Vietnamese American Medical Association of Greater Houston
(VAMA-GH), established in 2007 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization, is the representative organization for Vietnamese
physicians in the Greater Houston Area. Our membership consists of
over 70 physicians in every specialty, both primary care and
subspecialty practice. Our members practice coverage area
ranges from Galveston to the Woodlands and Sugar Land to Baytown.
The VAMA-GH mission is to promote health among the Vietnamese
population in Houston and surrounding counties. We aim to
achieve this goal by educating our patients about good health
practices and promoting preventative health care. We strive to
improve the health of our patients by offering frequent continuing
medical education classes to our member physicians.
We organize and staff health fairs to provide free medical care to
the underserved Vietnamese community, especially those patients
without medical coverage. We staff bone marrow drive to
encourage potential donors from the Asian community, a group not
well represented in the national bone marrow bank. We encourage
high school and college students to enter the medical field by
offering scholarships to deserving students.
