In the early 80’s there were very few Asian physicians in the state of Georgia. For friendship and communication, they started meeting in their homes. At the beginning of 90’s, The Chinese Medical Association of Atlanta was established. Dr. Luke S.C. Chang was the first President. Its members includes physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners. Now through the hard work of all its members and leaders, CMAATL has become the largest Asian medical association in the state.
