About GKCMMA
The Greater Kansas City Medical Managers Association (GKCMMA) is a not-for-profit corporation comprised of Administrators, Managers, Allied Health Professionals, and Business Partners from in and around the Kansas City region. The organization incorporated in October 1980 after a group of eight managers met to discuss networking and sharing information with Kansas City peers. They decided to met monthly at a Westport restaurant to discuss issues and get answers. From these humble beginnings, GKCMMA has grown to more thant 550 members.
The goal of GKCMMA is to provide networking and continuing educational opportunities for our members, which is in keeping with our mission and vision statements and strategic plan. It is our continual hope that we can grow in our service to the healthcare community of Greater Kansas City.
GKCMMA is affiliated with the National MGMA Organization and MGMA-Missouri State Chapter. These organizations provide a firm foundation and educational opportunities for members. Separate membership is required for the national organization and state chapter.
Our committee structure shifts as the needs of our members change. Currently we have active committees to facilitate awarding of scholorships, to coordinate our education conference, to investigate compliance issues, to ensure our salary survey is produced appropriately, to schedule periodic webinars/audio conferences, to develop practicums on current healthcare interest, to schedule monthly meeting programs, to maintain and enhance our website, and to coordinate periodic networking events.
