COMMENTS FROM OUR MEMBERS … and more

“THANK YOU to the KCMS for getting community healthcare providers vaccinated. You are the only agency that has made such an organized effort on our behalf. Thanks for your hard work!!”

“KCMS has excellent leadership, strategic management, & collaborative skills. It’s nimble & responsive. To quote Hamilton, “‘We get the job done!”

“Doctors cannot be passive observers; we want to set the standards, not have someone else tell us what the standards are.”

“I’m a great believer in the physician as an advocate focused on the welfare of patients.”

“Using the KeyBank mortgage discount saves me $1,000 per month!”

“We have to send the message to our mentees to get involved with organizations. The organization gains, and you gain. And I think it’s critical to advocate for the policies … and funding that will make a difference … All of us have to be part of the solution.” Dr. Ralph Sacco
