Dear Members and Fellow NC
Citizens:
I am happy to take the role of president of the North Carolina Medical Society Alliance for a second term. I believe in our mission—that we are dedicated to advancing the health of North Carolinians through advocacy and action—and am energized to work with our dedicated and talented board to further that mission. Our focus continues to be mental health. One area we are concentrating on is conveying to healthcare practitioners that there is help for them when they are struggling with the stress of the job. This is because rates of physician suicide and burnout are rising.
Recently we have also focused on how we can assist those practicing rural medicine and working in our state’s charitable clinics. However, in 2024-2025, we will turn our efforts to our biggest challenge yet. As a board we must decide how to reshape the North Carolina Medical Society Alliance to make full use of our resources and be most effective in advancing the health of all North Carolinians and supporting families of those who keep North Carolina healthy. We are holding strategic planning sessions and hope to redesign the Alliance to make a greater impact in the state. If you are a member, please watch toward the end of this Alliance year as we update everyone on proposed changes. If you are not a member, we hope you will join us. We value your support.
Here's to good health!
Kirby Sheridan
2024-2025 President
