Sarasota County Medical Society Alliance (SCMSA)
Who we are
Our membership is open to spouses or significant others of physicians, or physicians themselves who live or practice in Sarasota County. We offer camaraderie and provide community service through education and advocacy.
What we offer our members
We offer opportunities to develop friendships through special interest groups, educational meetings and social events. We invite all members to serve and be involved at any level they choose. Family is important and our family picnic is a fun way for us to meet the families of our members. We keep in touch with our members throughout the year and strive to be there for them in happy times and sad.
We offer members updated information on state and national legislative activity that affects physicians and the patients they serve.
We provide our members with an annual directory of all members of both SCMSA and the Sarasota County Medical Society (SCMS).
Sarasota Medical Alliance Foundation (SMAF)
Alliance members are also a members of our Foundation, a 501c (3) not-for-profit Florida corporation. We have created important community projects. Currently, we continue with our prescription drug awareness initiatives as well as our website series on mental health awareness. We work together with and support other local non-profits with health-education causes.
We also offer scholarships to students pursuing higher education in healthcare fields.
We teach a one-of-a-kind, comprehensive babysitting course for teens in our community, held annually at the Selby Public Library. Our program, entitled, “G.E.M.S” (Good Emergency Mother’s Substitute), has received numerous community accolades during the 24 years we have offered the course.
Our members and their spouses/significant others eagerly await our annual special event that benefits our Foundation and provides a fun-filled evening with friends and colleagues.
