The early 90's were a period of enormous change in healthcare in Delaware. A handful of practice managers began to meet informally in response to the turmoil that was occurring. They exchanged ideas, broadened their knowledge base and tried to find ways to more effectively manage their way through the storm. These informal gatherings were so popular that as more and more managers wanted to join, the idea of DMGMA was born.

DMGMA was officially founded in 1993 as a state chapter of the national Medical Group Management Association (MGMA). DMGMA is the only organization in Delaware dedicated to the professional development of practice managers.

Today, DMGMA has grown to 224 members representing 350 physicians. Several of the original 16 founding Board Members are still active on the Board.
