Welcome . . .

Founded in 1888, KCMS started as an organization to assist with public health problems, establish acceptable standards of medical practice in the county, and credential physicians.

Today, with nearly 3,300 members, KCMS continues to promote the interests of physicians and their patients through self-governance, public advocacy and community partnerships.

KCMS is a charter member of the AMA and one of the largest county societies in the United States. It works closely with the Washington State Medical Association on matters of importance statewide.
