Coalitions

Tobacco Free Mass (L-R) MMS Immediate Past President Dr. Maryanne Bombaugh, with speakers Phillip Gardiner, Dr. Valerie Yerger, and Simon McNabb, and coalition chair Dr. Lauren Smith at the MMS-hosted Tobacco Free Mass annual policy forum.

The Medical Society is committed to collaborating with key stakeholder groups in support of shared goals and objectives to advance medical knowledge and the medical profession to improve patient care and outcomes.
