The effects of today's healthcare professions have taken their toll on marriages. Increasing time pressures, fiscal burdens, continuing education requirements and countless demands make building strong marriage relationships all the more difficult.

CMDA recognizes a need to provide healthcare couples with an opportunity to nurture and grow in their marital relationships. The Marriage Enrichment Weekends offer a comfortable, get-away-from-it-all setting, allowing couples to communicate and experience a deeper appreciation for their marriage partnership.

This event is for female healthcare professionals and their spouses only.

On Tuesday, October 7, 2025, Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) attorneys presented oral argument before the U.S. Supreme Court in the Chiles v. Salazar case to challenge a Colorado law that censors the speech of Kaley Chiles, a licensed counselor, from having conversations that could help minor clients regain comfort with their biological sex—even when that is the client's goal.

CMDA was one of more than 50 amicus briefs submitted in support of the case. CMDA Director of Federal Public Policy Nicole Hayes, based in Washington, D.C., supported and prayed for the case outside the Supreme Court steps along with others.
