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, awareness, action initiatives
  • physician leader(s) seeking strength in numbers
  • making known medical profession position on legislative issues.
