The Buncombe County Medical Society and the Western North Carolina Medical Society are the physicians' voice advocating for the health of the medical profession, the health of the patient, and the health of the community.

The purpose of Western North Carolina Medical Society (WNCMS) is:

  • To inform, educate and prepare physicians for rapidly occurring changes in health care at national, state, and local levels  
  • To share legislative and policy information and advocate on behalf of physicians in areas of mutual interest
  • To share available resources in areas of mutual interest
  • To promote physician-to-physician communication and dialogue in an open, honest and safe environment 
Buncombe County Medical Society (BCMS) Corporation is the thriving, 800-plus professional association of Buncombe County (BC) area physicians. It is a chartered component medical society of the NC Medical Society and the AMA. BCMS Corporation works to further the professional interests of its members and to improve conditions for the practice of medicine in our area.
 
The Foundation is BCMS's non-profit, charitable arm. The Foundation exists to address issues of access to quality health care and disparities in health for people served in Buncombe County. We do this through collaboration, education, advocacy, innovation, research, public policy, and fundraising. We are committed to involving both community AND physicians in this work.
 
The Alliance is comprised of physician spouses and exists to be a catalyst for the health and unity of the physician family community through opportunities for learning and social interaction, and to be a catalyst for a healthier community. Our vision statement is "Healthy physician families for a healthier community."
