A Coalition with the MICHIGAN STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY


In case you haven't noticed, we're a natural coalition. Medical Society members want to cultivate and improve relationships in the communities and with their colleagues. Medical Alliance members have as their objective the best interests of the medical professions. The Alliance can be a forum for spouses to learn about the medical profession and its related problems. Alliance members can also be another voice in the legislative arena and an effective force in public relations.


With the continuing changes in health care, it is of mutual benefit for the Medical Society and the Medical Alliance to cooperate and work together. Individual society members can lend expertise to Alliance health programs and projects as advisors or participants. The Medical Society benefits by having a resource of people power, experienced managers, and program planners with broad community contacts.


Alliance members can be effective monitors for legislative health issues and community health education by bringing awareness of gaps in services. Alliance members are also great public relations experts who can deliver timely health education messages and be an integral part of the medical association programs. Together, physicians and spouses can project a caring image that will strengthen community relationships and promote quality health education.
