Welcome to the Georgia Medical Directors Association’s web site.
The aim of the GMDA web site is to keep current and potential GMDA members up-to-date on pertinent GMDA chapter activities and on local and national issues in Long Term Care. Your input and involvement is welcome. On this site, GMDA will post original materials along with links to existing resources, tools, articles and legislative information that we hope will help advance our mission to improve patient care and promote the professional development of long term care medical directors. GMDA is here to help you provide the compassionate, quality care all long term care residents deserve.
GMDA members can submit non-commercial long term care related items for possible future posting to this website. Interested members can send an email to gmdawebsite@gmail.com.
