Realizing the Future of Medicine

Our Mission

We want to uplift and support physicians, empower future healthcare leaders, and champion healthy equity for underserved communities through mentorship, advocacy, and connection. Since 1965, the Mile High Medical Society has uplifted all physicians, empowered future leaders, and advanced health equity for our communities, because care begins with connection.

Who We Serve

Supporting Medical Professionals from all Backgrounds

The Mile High Medical Society supports physicians who lack access to resources or financial means to make their aspirations a reality. The members of the Mile High Medical Society have become engaged with the National Medical Society as a state local society. MHMS received the NMA Local State Medical Society of the Year Award in 2020. We have also received the Dr. Justina Ford Award for our outstanding contribution to he medical community.

Our Vision

We envision a future where physicians can thrive, underserved communities receive equitable care, and every generation has the opportunity to lead and heal.

This past weekend, Mile High Medical Society was proud to host a powerful community health event at New Hope Baptist Church—bringing together trusted voices in medicine to shed light on Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and cardiovascular health in underserved communities. Led by Dr. Demetria McNeal, researcher and health equity champion, and Dr. Shea Hogan, interventional cardiologist, the event centered on raising awareness, addressing disparities, and equipping our community with knowledge that can save lives. We’re grateful to Dr. Johnny Johnson for bringing this vision to life and to every attendee who showed up to invest in their health and their future. 💫💫 #MileHighMedicalSociety #HeartHealth #PADAwareness #HealthEquity #CommunityWellness #BlackHealthMatters #TrustedVoices

Last night, we gathered at Las Delicias for a wonderful evening of food, connection, and conversation. Doctors, residents, and even pre-med students came together in community—sharing stories, laughs, and support across generations. One of our guests reminded us of a powerful message: “Take care of yourself first—burnout doesn’t have to be the norm.” We’re grateful for moments like these that remind us why mentorship, balance, and fellowship matter in medicine. #milehighmedicalsociety #physicianwellness #preventburnout #CommunityInMedicine #futuremds 🫶🩻
