Since 1948, CAFP has been analyzing and disseminating trends and information to assist California’s family physicians in their practices. With nearly 7,000 members, including active practicing family physicians, residents in family medicine, and medical students interested in the specialty, CAFP is the largest primary care medical society in California, and the largest chapter of the American Academy of Family Physicians.

Family physicians are trained to treat an entire family’s medical needs, addressing the whole spectrum of life’s medical challenges. FPs serve a broad base of patients in urban, suburban and rural areas, often in California’s most underserved areas.

The mission of the California Academy of Family Physicians Foundation is to recruit diverse philanthropic resources to support the goals and projects of the California Academy of Family Physicians, in order to advance the delivery of accessible, compassionate and comprehensive health care to the people of California.
