Forging a New Trail


On January 1, 1999 two societies became one. Johnson County Medical Society (JCMS) and Wyandotte County Medical Society (WCMS) consolidated into one. It is a natural step to consolidate since many physicians practice in both counties. The consolidation offered the two societies a stronger and more influential voice in the Kansas Medical Society and Legislature.

In 1998 Dr. Bill Brooks, President of WCMS and Dr. Dick Warner, President of JCMS, envisioned a society of both counties. After several months of dialogue, the Presidents, their boards and membership decided it was time to consolidate. Martha Hunt, who had been the Executive Secretary in WCMS, wrote the bylaws for the new society; with suggestions from Doctors Bill Brooks, Bob Coleman, John Nelson, Tony Racela, and Dick Warner. Harriet Hayward became the Executive Director of the new society.

 

The Medical Society's role in healthcare is constantly changing. The Society is a dependable tool for navigating your way through the fears that leave physicians vulnerable to exploitation. Physicians' fears have prompted a stampede of ill-conceived actions over the last few years; and the transition from being healthcare's royalty to mere cogs in a dysfunctional system has been anything but smooth. The consequent disempowerment feed the anxiety, anger and mob mentality that physicians harbor today.

Being a member of MSJWC keeps you informed of current healthcare issues. Additionally, our united voice can make an impact on health-care legislation and regulations.
