The CCPA Difference

The Cook County Physicians Association was founded in order to address racial, political, and economic problems in the delivery of medical care and education, especially as they impact African Americans.

Among the goals of the Cook County Physicians Association is the desire to increase the number of African American physicians, as this is one of the critical issues of this time.

Increasing The Quality Of Life For Our Communities Of African-American Descent

We are the heartbeat of healthcare excellence tailored to our community’s needs. At CCPA, we understand the nuanced healthcare needs of our people, guiding our mission toward empowering better outcomes, one patient at a time. By centering our efforts on African-American health, we bridge the gap between care and culture, ensuring equitable access, understanding, and healthier futures.

CCPA is the local chapter of the National Medical Association.
