The Southern Nevada Guild was born out of a longing to bring Catholic physicians together in Southern Nevada.

In 2013, Dr. Scott Manthei saw a need to foster authentic Catholic healthcare among physicians and healthcare professionals in Southern Nevada. Originally a member of the Christian Medical and Dental Association, Dr. Manthei, along with his wife and fellow physician, Dr. Darlina Manthei, understood the importance of encountering Christ through his Church and receiving the grace necessary to care for the sick and suffering in our community.

The Southern Nevada chapter of the Catholic Medical Association (CMA) was officially declared a chartered guild in 2014 and since it’s inception, the chapter has grown to include over 50 physicians, nurses, dentists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, medical students, resident physicians, and other healthcare professionals.
