Philippine Medical Association of Hawaii

The Philippine Medical Association of Hawaii (PMAH), based in Waipahu, HI, is Hawaii's premier medical organization dedicated to comprehensive healthcare delivery and professional advancement. Since 1978, PMAH has pioneered innovative service models that address the healthcare needs of Hawaii's diverse population, particularly underserved immigrant communities. The organization operates through three specialized affiliates, each delivering distinct medical and educational services to the community.

Bayanihan Clinic Without Walls (BCWW) provides essential free medical care to thousands of uninsured Filipino and non-Filipino immigrants throughout Hawaii, removing financial barriers to healthcare access. The Ohana Medical Mission (OMM) mobilizes volunteer physicians, healthcare professionals, and civic-minded individuals to deliver medical, dental, and surgical services to underserved regions in the Philippines and other developing countries, extending PMAH's reach beyond Hawaii's borders. The PMAH Foundation supports disadvantaged pre-medical and medical students by providing access to educational opportunities that transcend traditional classroom instruction, cultivating the next generation of healthcare providers.

Beyond clinical services, PMAH strengthens professional community through cultural celebrations and networking events that foster camaraderie among physicians, healthcare professionals, and industry partners. The organization welcomes both Filipino and non-Filipino physicians serving Hawaii to join its mission-driven community. PMAH's comprehensive approach to healthcare delivery, professional development, and community outreach has established it as a beacon of inspiration and influence throughout Hawaii's medical community and across the state.
