About Association of Philippine Physicians of Greater Cincinnati
We are the Association of Philippine Physicians of Greater Cincinnati-- a group of physicians in the Tri-State of Southern Ohio, Northern Kentucky and Southeastern Indiana promoting professional growth, social networking and cultural awareness for its members. We collaborate with other Filipino-American communities in the Cincinnati metropolitan area in promoting health and wellness, and participate in charitable and cultural activities.
We are the Association of Philippine Physicians of the Greater Cincinnati (APPGC). We are a 501c(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to promote communication and cooperation among Philippine physicians in the Cincinnati Metropolitan area and other organized groups in our community.
With almost 50 current members, the physicians practice in various specialties in Southwestern Ohio, Northern Kentucky and Southeastern Indiana. Founded in 1978, the APPGC has made considerable contributions to health care in the Greater Cincinnati metropolitan area.
The objectives of the organization are to promote its members and to assist the Filipino physicians' integration with the Cincinnati medical community, to provide an opportunity to socialize and network with fellow Filipino physicians, and to provide educational activities for its membership.
The APPGC had provided many CME activities over the years and recently partnered with Lindner Center of Hope and UC Health to present mental health lectures as continuing medical education for primary care providers.
