New Haven County Medical Association

What New Haven County Medical Association does

The New Haven County Medical Association (NHCMA) is a nonprofit professional medical association founded in 1782 (with member representation dating to 1784) and headquartered in New Haven, Connecticut. It represents physicians from every medical specialty and practice setting in New Haven County, including medical students, interns, and residents, through a unified membership with the Connecticut State Medical Society (CSMS). The combined network spans over 1,500 New Haven County physicians and over 7,200 Connecticut physicians.

NHCMA's core service is its unified membership program, which provides access to networking events, advocacy, discounts, action alerts, workshops, practice management support, peer review, patient advocacy, community health programs, and educational seminars. The organization is professionally managed by Lutine Management Associates, LLC and operates with a lean staff of three: an Executive Director (Ray Saputelli, MBA, CAE), an Association Services Director, and an Accounting Director. Member engagement is facilitated through the GlueUp digital platform and an annual meeting; CME-accredited webinars cover topics such as AI in medicine. Membership dues are processed through the CSMS memberservice.csms.org portal on an annual subscription basis.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring physician membership dues, supplemented by an Affinity Vendor Program in which preferred vendors (BankCard USA, HUB International, Cohn Reznick, The Cimino Group, Transamerica, and Practice Management Institute) provide services to members. The NHCMA Foundation, a separate 501(c)(3) tax-exempt entity affiliated with the association, awards public health grants to local community organizations. The association is governed by an elected physician board; Elsa L. Stone, MD was installed as President for 2026. NHCMA does not develop proprietary technology — its offering is membership, advocacy, and professional community services rather than software products.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Medical Society of the State of New York: Statewide professional medical society for New York physicians. Operates the same advocacy and member-services model as state medical societies that county associations like NHCMA integrate with, but in a different Northeast geography.
• New Hampshire Medical Society: State-level professional association for New Hampshire physicians. Comparable mission, advocacy focus, and member-benefit offerings to the Connecticut ecosystem NHCMA participates in, but in a different state.
• Massachusetts Medical Society: Statewide professional medical society for Massachusetts physicians. Comparable in mission and offerings (advocacy, CME, member benefits) but serves a different New England geography, making it a regional analog rather than a direct competitor.
• Rhode Island Medical Society: Statewide professional medical society for Rhode Island physicians. Comparable organizational structure and mission (physician advocacy, CME, networking), serving a neighboring New England jurisdiction rather than directly competing with NHCMA.

Broad incumbents

• American Medical Association: National professional association representing U.S. physicians. NHCMA delegates participate in AMA governance (e.g., AMA Delegate and Alternate Delegate roles), positioning AMA as the broader incumbent that county associations feed into.

Direct peers

• Fairfield County Medical Association: County medical association serving Fairfield County, Connecticut. Comparable in structure, member offerings, and statewide integration with CSMS, making it a direct analog to NHCMA in an adjacent Connecticut geography.
• Connecticut State Medical Society: Statewide professional medical association serving all Connecticut physicians. NHCMA and CSMS operate a unified membership model in which joining NHCMA automatically enrolls physicians in CSMS, making CSMS the closest structural and operational peer.
• Hartford County Medical Association: County-level professional medical association covering Hartford County, Connecticut. Operates an almost identical model — physician membership, advocacy, CME, and affinity partnerships — and is part of the same CSMS unified-membership ecosystem as NHCMA.
• New London County Medical Association: Another Connecticut county medical association serving New London County physicians. Operates under the same statewide CSMS affiliation and provides identical physician advocacy, CME, and member-benefit services as NHCMA.

Others

• Lutine Management Associates, LLC: Association management firm that professionally manages NHCMA's operations. Not a competitor but an ecosystem enabler — it also manages other medical and professional associations, making it a relevant adjacent party to understand NHCMA's operating model.
