CTSMA Spirit of Giving
Founded in 2012, the CTSMA Spirit of Giving is our way of giving back to our communities. The Connecticut Society of Medical Assistants believes in helping those who help others. The CTSMA Spirit of Giving has received three National Awards from the American Association of Medical Assistants for our Community Service.
Each year the CTSMA Spirit of Giving chooses different organizations in Connecticut to help in various ways. If you know of any groups or you are an organization that would like to be considered as a CTSMA Spirit of Giving Charity, please contact Rebecca V. Parry, CMA (AAMA) at csmapresident@ctsma.org
