Membership in the Wake County Medical Society is one
of the most important and effective ways for
physicians, collectively, to be part of the solution
to our many health care challenges. A strong,
vibrant Society will always have the ear of
legislators because they respect the fact that
doctors are uniquely qualified to help form health
policies that work as intended. It's heartening to
know the vast majority of Wake County physicians,
more than 700 to date, have chosen to become members
of the Wake County Medical Society.
Our members not only help support a vibrant,
effective medical profession, but support the system
of the future as well, which is a legacy
physicians want to be part of, especially at a time
when the need for health care professionals is
growing dramatically.
Society Strategic Initiatives
Service Programs— The spirit of volunteerism is
strong in Wake County. Hundreds of local physicians
volunteer to help our indigent. The Society
coordinates several programs that allow low income
individuals
access to volunteer doctors and to special case
management services for children with diabetes,
sickle cell anemia or asthma.
Additional Member Benefits
Find A Doc—A data
repository created to provide accurate, complete
information about Wake County doctors through one
convenient resource.
Publications—Members receive the
peer-reviewed The Wake County Physician Magazine
four times a year, and we keep you informed
regularly pertinent emails. The magazine
focuses on the latest health news from the State
Capitol and Washington, DC, along with information
about what physicians can do to accomplish critical
advocacy goals. It also features Society news,
practice management information and answers to your
frequently asked questions.
Socializing with your
physician colleagues—Many physicians
feel too busy to do anything except work long hours
caring for patients. But, "No man is an island,
entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main," wrote John Donne
about 400 years ago. The same idea holds true today
with physicians and your local professional
community.
The WCMS provides an opportunity for physicians to
nourish relationships through social interaction
with one another at our dinner meetings featuring
prominent speakers and at other events.
Finally, joining the WCMS is plain and
simple the right thing to do—Physicians
and ultimately our patients benefit from our
membership and our leadership in local affairs.
