About Korean-American Physicians Association of New York
Established in 1988, the Korean-American Medical Practitioners Association of New York (KAMPANY) was founded to centralize and support the Korean-American physician community of New York. Originally founded by first-generation Korean physicians in private practice in the New York area, the current membership is composed primarily of 1.5 and 2nd-generation Korean-American physicians.
In 2013, KAMPANY formally revised its name to the Korean-American Physicians Association of New York in order to embrace physicians who are primarily hospital-based, in addition to physicians in private practice.
KAMPANY creates valuable opportunities to network among Korean-American physicians in the greater New York area. KAMPANY strengthens professional relationships, provides an essential support system that can lead to increased patient referrals, and serves as a forum to consult on complex medical cases.
In addition, KAMPANY is devoted to community service. As physicians, we believe in helping others and giving back to the community in which we all practice. KAMPANY’s ongoing community service programs allow for physicians to work together in order to accomplish the common objective of helping Korean-American seniors, the indigent, the uninsured, and the promising youth.
KAMPANY provides a forum for our physicians to interact and network, enhance our collective role in the public eye, promote continuing medical education through its medical lecture series, increase health awareness though its community outreach programs, and identify and foster promising young scholars within the Korean-American community through its scholarship program.
