We’re passionate about empowering and educating our community on the importance of health and wellness. Through our outreach efforts, we’re dedicated to making sure everyone in our community has access to the resources, education, and healthcare they need for better long-term health.
Our community outreach initiatives bring the expertise of our physician members directly to the people who need them most. Through education, advocacy, and hands-on engagement, we’re here to make a real difference in the health and wellness of our Dallas-Fort Worth neighbors.
Education & Outreach
One of the most effective ways we connect with our community is through health education and outreach events. We regularly organize and participate in local events, such as health fairs, school career fairs, and church-based gatherings.

At these events, we offer important health screenings, medical referrals, and information on how to live a healthy lifestyle. Our goal is to equip individuals with the tools and resources they need to improve their overall health and wellbeing.
Walk With a Doc
Our monthly “Walk With a Doc” event is another way we engage with our community. On the third Saturday of every month, community members are invited to join us for a casual walk with a physician.

This event series, in partnership with the Texas Medical Association, provides an informal, welcoming environment where anyone can engage in conversation with our doctors without the burdens or pressures often associated with a traditional doctor’s office visit. Refreshments are provided, and all are welcome to drop in and join us!
Regional & National Engagement
Our community engagement efforts extend beyond the Dallas-Fort Worth area. We also participate in regional and national meetings of the National Medical Association (NMA) and hosted the Region V Annual Conference in April 2024 together with the NMA Region V.
Gatherings like these allow us to connect with a broader network of physicians and healthcare professionals who are committed to improving healthcare access and reducing disparities in the Black community. By participating in these meetings, we can share our experiences, engage with and learn from others, and continue to advance our shared mission.
Our community service and engagement initiatives are constantly evolving, and we’re always looking for new ways to connect with our community and provide the information and support they need.
If you’d like to work together on an upcoming initiative or request a member of the C.V. Roman Medical Society to speak at your event, let us know! We’d love to work together to support the health and wellbeing of our community.
