The association was named after two physicians who exemplified these objectives and were deeply committed to the delivery of quality health care to the Black community.
Presently, the Sinkler Miller Medical Association has over 160 members. As a local branch of both the National Medical Association and the State of California Golden State Medical Association, Sinkler Miller maintains its commitment towards the betterment of the field of health, education and welfare.
