WHO WE ARE-WHAT WE DO
ACMSA is an organized body of physician
spouses, relatives of
physicians, physicians and friends*, in support of Allegheny County
Medical Society and its three thousand member doctors.
Now commencing our eighty-seventh year of continuous community service
in partnership with Allegheny County Medical Society, the mission of
the Alliance is to advance:
● issues of public health and welfare
● legislative attentiveness in protecting medical ethics, science and
practice
● fundraising projects for the benefit of medical school education
as well as health career scholarship and charitable causes
Summer 2012 will focus on reviewing a proud history, accessing the
present, and contemplating the future. The Alliance is an important
community resource and has remained viable by keeping its best
traditions while developing new strategies and styles most suited to
here and now, always remaining constant to core principles set forth by
respected founders, dedicated leaders and reliable members.
Membership, the commitment to our organization and to each other
inspires and enables us. We seasoned volunteers, experienced in the
work we do, derive enormous satisfaction in camaraderie and friendship,
in finding solutions to challenges…implicit in community service
projects. Throughout an impressive history, Alliance efforts have been
lauded, recognized and validated by prestigious organizations,
statesmen, captains of industry, leaders in academia and by
individuals, for aid the Alliance has consistently been able to offer
to:
- students of intellectual merit,
encountering financial difficulties
- victims of domestic violence, exiting
shelters: recipients of gently used business attire for career
interviews
- homeless/others at risk in the
county: recipients of new, warm under and outer wear via joint city
projects
- disaster relief efforts-hands on
help, in kind donations and monetary contributions
- public health/welfare, programs,
