We are a part of the AMA Alliance, which is the largest, most influential grassroots organization representing physician's spouses nationwide. The pro-active volunteer voice of the AMA, the Alliance, is dedicated to promoting better public health, ensuring sound health care legislation, and fundraising for medical education.

Our members have a desire to improve the quality of life and enhance the perception of medicine by working hand-in-hand with our local alliances, our communities and our state organizations on significant and worthwhile programs, sharing common goals as advocates for the FUTURE of the family of medicine, the medical family and medicine in Kansas.

Alliance membership can provide a multitude of benefits to you: friendships, leadership training, and fundraising opportunities just to name a few. Many of our members are enjoying volunteering in their children's classrooms and are making a difference in the character development of our youth, directly affecting the outcome of bullying and violence in our schools.

KMSA has four core programs that we focus most of our efforts on:

  • AMA Foundation
  • Health Promotion
  • Legislation
  • Membership

We have added a Member's Only area to our web site, where we have a password protected searchable directory, a photo gallery, and other special benefits.

Become a part of this exciting, multi-faceted organization. We will make every effort to make you feel like you are part of our group. Each of you is important to us. Since everyone is invited to participate fully in all of our state activities, I hope to see you soon at one of our events.

Sincerely,

Karla Degner; KMSA President


Message from the President-Elect

As President Elect of the Kansas Medical Society Alliance one of my goals is to learn how our organization can best assist our county alliance members and members at large to improve the health and quality of life for the citizens of Kansas.  I want to teach members what KMSA and AMAA have available in the way of personal and professional development.  It is my goal to share with Kansas Medical Spouses how the Alliance can offer friendship and support unlike any other group due to the uniqueness of the medical marriage.  Our membership spans from residency through retirement.  All phases of the medical career are represented and can give understanding and encouragement to one another.   

Sincerely,

Michelle Grindel; KMSA President-elect
