a note from NEOCMDA Chairman - DR. Philip Bernard

"Do you not say, 'Four months more and then the harvest'? I Tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields!  They are ripe for harvest."    John 4:35 
​
Dear friends, 
 
I want to thank the leadership Council who have chosen me as the new chair of NEOCMDA, replacing Dr. Michael Chen who has faithfully stewarded this chapter for nearly nine years. 

The Christian medical and Dental Association is a 92-year-old organization whose principal purpose was-and remains-to represent Christ's hands and feet in the "field" of medicine. 
I have been in Cleveland since 1981 when I came to medical school at CWRU and am truly honored to be considered worthy to lead this Chapter in such a great medical environment!
 
As I assume the Chair of NEOCMDA, I am aware of its history of extremely wise, capable and godly servant-leaders who have preceded me, physicians of great capacity in primary care, specialty care, teaching and medical research. 
I thank God for the foundation laid by so many faithful men and women over the last 30 years! 
 
King Solomon wrote in Proverbs 29:18 
"Without vision the people perish" 
 
I believe God has given and entrusted me with a fresh vision for NEOCMDA: 
 
Philip N. Bernard MD
