The Winnebago County Medical Society is a physician-driven organization committed to uniting and representing Winnebago County physicians. WCMS equips all physicians with the support and advocacy needed for success throughout their careers, from medical school and residency to active practice and retirement by sharing information with local legislators. Here's how we work together:

  • We safeguard and celebrate the doctor-patient relationship.
  • We champion legislative policies that benefit both physicians and patients.
  • We foster an engaged and dynamic medical community.
  • We educate and serve our patients, medical teams, and local communities.
