Pennsylvania Podiatric Medical Association

Pennsylvania Podiatric Medical Association The Pennsylvania Podiatric Medical Association (PPMA) represents podiatrists in Pennsylvania.

PPMA started in 1909 in order to stop an objectionable legislative bill proposed to regulate all phases of health care practice, which included a clause to eliminate the practice of chiropody [podiatry]. The profession had to come together and raise funds and obtain the legal advice to stop that bill. Their collective efforts proved successful and brought about a charter for a much needed state or

ganization, the Chiropody Society of Pennsylvania, on November 1, 1909. Out of 325 men and women practicing chiropody in the Keystone State at that time, it was 42 practitioners who responded to the solicitation for funds to keep their profession alive in Pennsylvania. Today, PPMA has grown to represent over 875 podiatrists across the state.

As summer approaches, PPMA encourages heightened awareness of skin cancer prevention and detection—including on the feet and ankles, where warning signs are often overlooked.

Regular skin checks and early evaluation of unusual spots or changes can play an important role in protecting long-term health.
