Florida Medical Association

https://www.flmedical.org/florida/

The Florida Medical Association (FMA) has more than 16,000 physician members and is headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida, USA. The FMA exists to help physicians practice medicine. In carrying out our mission, we adhere to the following values:

ADVOCACY: Speaking for physicians and their patients

QUALITY: Promoting the highest standards of medical care

PROFESSIONALISM: Delivering care with integrity and compassion

FREEDOM: Maintaining choice in a free-market system that respects the patient/physician relationship

EDUCATION: Promoting life-long learning and the education of future physicians

HEALTHY FLORIDIANS: Promoting comprehensive patient care and public health.

The FMA has had a robust interest in environmental health since 2002 when it established the Environment and Health Section. These functions were transferred in 2012 to the Council on Healthy Floridians now under the leadership of Dr Beny Rub. The FMA House of Delegates has adopted a dozen environmental health policies on topics that include air and water quality, urban planning, climate change, environmental education and the physician’s responsibility for the environment. My Green Doctor was launched in 2001 as part of the FMA’s fulfillment of FMA policies on these topics.

World Medical Association

https://www.wma.net

The World Medical Association (WMA) is an international organization representing physicians. It was founded on the 17th of September, 1947, when physicians from 27 different countries met at the First General Assembly of the WMA in Paris. The organization was created to ensure the independence of physicians, and to work for the highest possible standards of ethical behavior and care by physicians. This was particularly important to physicians after the Second World War, and therefore the WMA has always been an independent confederation of free professional associations. Funding is provided by the annual contributions of its members, which has now grown to include 106 national medical associations representing more than 5 millions physicians.

The purpose of the WMA is to serve humanity by endeavoring to achieve the highest international standards in medical education, medical science, medical art and medical ethics, and health care for all people of the world. The WMA provides a forum for its member associations by holding General Assembly, Council meetings, and seminars on various healthcare topics, where physicians can communicate freely, cooperate actively, and achieve consensus on high standards of medical ethics and professional competence. A key goal is to promote the professional freedom of physicians worldwide. For more than sixty years, through our public meetings, policies, and guidelines, WMA has been a world leader in medical ethics, professionalism, research standards, human rights and environmental protection.

The membership of the Association is comprised of physicians representing national, non-governmental, associations of physicians. Individual physicians can join the WMA as Associate Members, with voting rights at the Annual Associate Members Meeting and the right to participate in the General Assembly is given to representatives of the Associate Members.

The World Medical Association is proud to participate in My Green Doctor by serving on the My Green Doctor Editorial Board and by offering My Green Doctor as a benefit for our members. For more information, see our website (www.wma.net) or contact Clarisse Delorme ([email protected]).

The Medical Society Consortium on Climate & Health

https://medsocietiesforclimatehealth.org/

Climate change is one of the most important issues of our time and has major health and healthcare implications.  As some of the most respected professionals in America, doctors and nurses have a crucial part to play in raising awareness of the public about these issues.  To facilitate the medical community’s awareness raising efforts, the Medical Society Consortium on Climate Change and Health (the Consortium) brings together associations representing approximately 500,000 clinical practitioners to carry three simple messages:

• Climate change is harming Americans today and these harms will increase unless we act;
• The way to slow or stop these harms is to decrease the use of fossil fuels and increase energy efficiency and use of clean energy sources; and
• These changes in energy choices will improve the quality of our air and water and bring immediate health benefits.  

American medical societies and their members have an important opportunity to weigh in to help ensure that the health risks of climate change and the health benefits of climate solutions, especially clean energy, are clearly understood. The voices of America’s medical societies have the potential to help reframe the dialogue – putting human health and wellbeing front and center in the conversation.

American Academy of Family Physicians

https://www.aafp.org

Founded in 1947, the American Academy of Family Physicians represents 136,700 physicians and medical students nationwide, and it is the only medical society devoted solely to primary care.

Family physicians provide comprehensive, evidence-based, and cost-effective care dedicated to improving the health of patients, families and communities. Family medicine’s cornerstone is an ongoing and personal patient-physician relationship where the family physician serves as the hub of each patient’s integrated care team.

With more Americans depending on family physicians than on any other medical specialty, family physicians diagnose and treat a multitude of diseases that result from the impact of climate change and poor environmental conditions. The AAFP is committed to working with other health care organizations to inform the public and policymakers about the harmful health effects of climate change.
