The Caribbean American Medical & Scientific Association (CAMSA), Inc. was formed in New York in 2002 by a group of doctors of Caribbean descent who wanted to improve health care for the Caribbean community both locally and in the Caribbean, as well as to give back to the Caribbean countries from which they had derived so much. Since its formation, CAMSA has evolved thanks to the countless members who have helped over the years to make it what it is today.

Like cancer, diabetes is another disease that has devastated my family. The American Diabetic Association is an organization I love and trust. I highly recommend donating here.
