Founded in 1992, the Western North Carolina Medical Managers Association is a nonprofit coalition of practice administrators, vendors, and friends of the healthcare industry. The organization has more than 200 members and provides educational, networking, and social organization for healthcare leaders. The mission of WNCMMA is to provide relevant education, inspiration and opportunity to health care administrators, leaders, and allied members around WNC.

The membership consists of two types of members. Active memberships are available for people in leadership, supervisory, practice management, or other administrative roles in healthcare. Allied memberships are available for non-managers in healthcare or anyone interested in being a part of the group regardless of healthcare leadership.

Membership service can range from meeting attendance and participation in educational discussions to board service to event planning. 

All members receive free access to an annual social, an annual conference, all networking and education luncheons throughout the year, and additional educational or networking resources. Educational topics and resources address issues relevant to medical leaders including but not limited to practice management and leadership, legal and risk management, legislative updates, governance, HIPAA and healthcare compliance, billing and coding, human resource management, and patient access and satisfaction.

The resources, education, and networking opportunities are designed to benefit all segments of the healthcare industry from primary care, to specialty care, to hospitals, to ancillary healthcare services such as laboratories.

WNCMMA aims to provide relevant and timely resources that benefit medical leaders and the healthcare industry in Western North Carolina. The organization connects with leaders at the local, state, and regional levels to ensure its members are well informed, prepared, and equipped to be exemplary leaders in healthcare.
