President’s Message

Welcome to the Midwestern Medical Directors Association website!

Your MMDA officers have been very busy planning this year’s meeting on May 11 & 12, 2023 in St. Louis, MO. The conference is hosted by RGA and will be held at the global headquarters.  Featured speakers are former Longer Life Foundation grant recipients from Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine as well as experts from our industry. Our keynote speaker will be Dr. Alexander Garza, head of the St. Louis Metropolitan Pandemic Task Force, who will discuss the lessons learned from the pandemic.

Attendees will be staying at the newly built and very modern AC Marriott Hotel across the street.  Please plan to attend the Thursday evening event at the beautiful Chandler Hill Winery, as well as the dinner on Friday at Ruth Chris, right next door to the hotel.  Transportation will be provided to all events.  Registration information is now open!

We would like to thank our 2023 Corporate Sponsors for their continued support of MMDA:

Lastly, we want to extend our gratitude to you all for continuing your membership to MMDA. We understand that your time is valuable—your choice to attend MMDA meetings and to support our regional organization is greatly appreciated. We hope to continue to exceed your expectations with the 2023 Annual meeting!

Sincerely,

Your 2022-2023 MMDA Officers
