SOUTHWEST RANCHES, Fla., April 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Bankers Healthcare Group, the leading direct lender to healthcare professionals, is proud to announce a financing partnership with the National Medical Association, one of the nation's oldest organizations representing African American physicians and their patients.

"We are honored to join forces with the NMA," said Bob Castro, owner and president of BHG. "Our simple financing process and flexible solutions can help the NMA's member physicians secure the funds they need to grow and prosper in today's complex healthcare climate."

The Affordable Care Act is expected to provide as many as 41 million uninsured individuals with better access to health care. According to the National Journal, almost half of these new patients are members of ethnic and racial minority groups.

BHG has designed financing programs that will provide the working capital these physicians need to expand their practices in order to meet the growing demands on their services. As part of the official partnership between the two organizations, BHG's dedicated loan specialists will work with NMA members to develop customized financing solutions, allowing them to remain focused on delivering high-quality care.
