UPMASA NJ-NY-CT Chapter

At the Philippine Independence Day celebration, NYC
June 1, 2008

This tri-state chapter started 25 years ago as the pioneer chapter of the University of the Philippines Medical Alumni Society in America (UPMASA). Since it's inception and in keeping with one of its major goals, it has donated to the the UP College of Medicine and the Philippine General Hospital textbooks, journals, medical equipment, research awards and aid in the infrastructure development. In 1995, it spearheaded medical missions and has continued to serve the indigent population of the Philippines yearly since then. As an extension of its mission to help the needy Filipinos, in 2007, it partnered with DAMAYAN Migrant Workers Association to offer free health screening at the New York City Philippine Independence Day Parade.

And it has done so again this year.
