The mission of the Michigan State Medical Society is to improve the lives of physicians so they may best care for the people they serve.
Core Values:
- Advocate on behalf of physicians and their patients
- Provide leadership
- Promote quality health care
- Demonstrate ethical behavior
When physicians join MSMS, they are making a strong statement about leadership for physicians and advocacy for patients. They understand that when policymakers consider issues affecting medical practice and patients, they want MSMS leadership at the table. MSMS is the physician's voice, the physician's strength and the profession's best advocate during medicine's most turbulent times.
Currently MSMS is at the forefront of a new passage in Michigan health care. Health care is at a crossroads--the status quo threatens everyone, including patients, payers and physicians. We know things need to change. We seek a more cohesive system down the road, and we are defining how to get there.
