The Alliance is a dynamic organization of physicians and physician spouses that represents the family of medicine. By joining you can:

• Develop lasting friendships
• Find a ready-made support system for the unique challenges of life within a medical family
• Participate in meaningful health and wellness promotions
• Protect community wellness through legislative advocacy
• Enhance your leadership skills
• Keep informed with the WCMSA Directory, The Acquainter, our local alliance newsletter, and The Pulse, the Illinois State Medical Society Alliance (ISMSA) quarterly newsletter

The purpose of this Alliance shall be to assist the Winnebago County Medical Society in its program to improve the quality of life through health education and services, and to cultivate friendly relations and promote mutual understanding among physician’s families.

In 2000, the 501c3, The Alliance for Community Health, Inc. (ACHI) was formed. Each year, ACHI grants dollar awards to health related not-for profits in the Rockford Community. Applicants must be sponsored by a WCMSA member. ACHI raises funds through grants and the WCMSA fundraiser, Charisma.

“When I moved to Rockford, the Alliance opened the door to new friends who understood what it was like to be in a medical family.”

“I have met loyal friends and colleagues who care about improving the health, wellness, and safety of our community in exciting and wonderful ways that make a difference.”

 “The Alliance offers the opportunity to meet others who share our life experience.”
