Keeping You Connected

The SCCMA keeps you up to date on the latest news,
policy developments, and events

SCCMA’s newly renamed program, Elevating Your Medical Practice (formerly Saving Private Practice), reflects an expanded vision to support physicians and their staff in solo, small, and medium-sized practices throughout Santa Clara County. This program provides timely educational webinars, practical resources, and expert guidance designed to help practices navigate an increasingly complex healthcare landscape. While the mission remains rooted in supporting the sustainability of independent practices, Elevating Your Medical Practice aims to empower all physicians to strengthen, innovate, and elevate the quality and efficiency of their care delivery.
