Welcome to the Dallas County Medical Society Alliance and Foundation!

    The DCMSA&F is entering into a new age in our ever-changing world.  With the changes in medicine and technology, our ways of operating are also moving into the future.  Our Alliance members are working harder than ever before in both businesses and charities and therefore, we see the need to accommodate schedules of all proportions to allow our members to serve our community in ways that are meaningful and enjoyable to them.

    This year we will be focusing on some of our key attributes like Edith Cavell nursing scholarships, doctor recognition and Aldredge House preservation.  Fewer and shorter meetings will also be a goal as technology allows us to stay connected and informed. (Remember to check our website www.dcmsaf.org and our facebook page.) Some of our special events include BBQ’s with the DCMS, AMAA speaker luncheons, Neiman Marcus fashion show luncheon, wine tastings and an Irish cooking class. Come join in the fun!

    Your membership is golden to the Alliance.  While it may not always be possible to serve the Alliance by volunteering your time, your membership dues allow us to be effective at the county & state levels.

    Thank you for supporting the DCMSA&F and we look forward to another successful year!

First Tuesdays at the Capitol
 
Let's take medicine's message to the 
Capitol! First Tuesdays will be Feb. 5, 
March 5, April 2 and May 7. Now more
than ever, the Texas legislature needs to hear from us! If you are interested in going to Austin for any of the First Tuesdays, please contact Sarah Hardin at mashdallas@msn.com

Bring it! Your White Coat, that is!   
The 83rd Legislative Session will deal with a number of healthcare challenges. It is imperative that the voices of our physician and alliance members be heard at the Capitol. The patients of Texas depend on you.  We want a HUGE delegation from DCMSA to go in April!
More details to come!

Our February Meeting was a fabulous visit to the                Per []t
Museum of Nature and Science
which makes our
 Dallas County Medical Society Alliance
National Doctor’s Day 2013 Philanthropy 
even more exciting! 
Funds raised by honoring a physician for 
Doctor’s Day 2013 will benefit the Summer 
Camp Scholarship Program of the new Perot Museum of Nature and Science, formerly 
The Science Place.  The Alliance’s support 
will make it possible for many underprivileged children as well as children who have excelled 
in the sciences to have the opportunity to 
attend the Perot Museum’s summer science 
camp free of tuition.
