Who We Are

The Alliance (SSVMSA) is the volunteer arm of the Sierra Sacramento Valley Medical Society.  Membership is composed of spouses/significant other of physicians, physicians, physicians in training, medical students, and friends of medicine.

What We Do

The Alliance is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of health in our community through education, community health project funding, medical student and nursing scholarships, as well as give volunteer support of community projects (all while having fun & making friends). With the state and national alliances we develop awareness, action and advocacy for quality health care legislation and actively participate in their projects.

These are some of the things we accomplished this past year:

  • Community Grants for 2018 were awarded in the amount of $55,600, for programs throughout greater Sacramento region: Sacramento Loaves & Fishes, Elica Health Center, River City Food Bank, Society for the Blind, St. John’s Program for Real Change, Women’s Empowerment, Yes2Kollege Educational Resources.
  • Nursing scholarships were awarded in the amount of $22,750 to five deserving nursing students from American River College, CSUS, Sacramento City College, and UC Davis.
  • Holiday Sharing Card raised $22,000 benefiting: SSVMSA's Community Endowment Fund ($12,300) and SSVMS’s Medical Student Scholarship Fund ($7,760 increased from $6,000).
  • The Art of Medicine (AOM) auction was a huge success bringing in over $140,000. Planning is now underway for the  2020 AOM.
  • Distribution of the directory “Community Resources for Older Adults.”
  • Social Activities: Monthly “Lunch Bunch”, date nights, book club, annual Napa wine trip, tango lessons!
  • Volunteering at the WEAVE center and Loaves and Fishes, and adding some family oriented Volunteer Days in the 2018/2019 calendar year.
  • Formed a team to support our local Colorectal Cancer 5K run.
Membership in the Alliance allows you to be directly involved in our projects, activities and events; however, even if you do not have time to actively participate in our projects or can only participate occasionally, your dues are very important.

We are looking forward to another year of promoting health in our community and having you as a member.
