JPMS | Jefferson Parish Medical Society
The goal of the organization is to provide a strong, unified voice for patient advocacy and
professional development for the physicians in Jefferson Parish. From the core
of 35 physician members, the Jefferson Parish Medical Society now has 450
actively practicing physicians, 105 retired physician members, 227 physicians
participating in specialty training as medical residents, and 35 medical
student members.
According to
Executive Director Charlene Baudier the organization exists to assist in the
advancement of medical science; to improve the delivery of medical care in
Jefferson Parish; to provide timely health education and information to the
people and physicians of Jefferson Parish; to render medical services to the
people of Jefferson Parish in times of disaster; to further medical education;
and to work with and support other medical societies of the State of Louisiana,
the Louisiana State Medical Society, and the American Medical Association.
JPMS provides
physician referrals, member information, educational meetings, quarterly
newsletters, and an annual directory. An
important function of the organization is acting as liaison with other
professional medical associations such as the American Medical Association
(AMA) and Louisiana State Medical Society to provide government/industry leaders
with impartial information relevant to Louisiana physician/patient issues.
