Message from the President
Hello, and thanks for your interest in the Wake County Medical Society (WCMS). In the organization’s 120 years of existence, there have been plenty of reasons why health care providers have chosen to be involved with the WCMS. However, there is no greater attraction than the enduring spirit of the original motto, “nurturing the bonds between us.”

President, Wake County Medical Society
