​Kathy O'Shaughnessy and I will be co-presidents of the Fort Wayne Medical Society Alliance for 2025-26 year. We have a very active Medical Alliance and Medical Society. We are a small but mighty group and excited to expand our membership. We have decided to remove "Dues" for you to become a member of the FWMSA. All spouses and partners of physicians who are members of the FWMS will be grandfathered in as FWMSA members. As always, spouses and partners of residents will also be free. However, to keep a current mailing list, we ask that you please fill out the online membership form here. Why should you become a member of the FWMS Alliance?

​

Friendships formed with others last a lifetime. This group understands the rigors of medical marriage and family life.

​

We are celebrating the 86th year that the FWMSA has been active in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

​

​Male memberships : Currently, we have two, please help us grow that number. ALL physicians/resident spouses are welcome.

​​

Scholarships are given annually to students pursing different careers in the medical field. You may learn more info or donate to the scholarship fund through this website. 

​​​

Annual events sponsored by the FWMSA include 30th annual Doctor's Day held at Science Central, and our 25th annual Cinderella Dress Day. Read more about these wonderful events in our community on the website. 

​

​Legal involvement when issues affect physicians and medical practices in Indiana. We rally  to make our voices heard, meet, call or write to our legislators who represent our district on important matters that affect NEI physicians. 

​​

Indiana University Medical School, FWMSA and FWMS mentors and encourages the students during their time here in Fort Wayne. We sponsor a BBQ event in August to welcome the students.

​

​Activities are planned monthly for members, couples, as well as family-oriented events. We have learned how to Curl, toured the Kuehnert Dairy Farm, learned how to make a fantastic charcuterie board, had a March Madness watch party with $/bracket and bourbon/wine tasting parties, and a monthly book club to name a few of our fun social events.

​

New members are welcomed by the FWMSA and we are there for each other through all life stages and events. 

​

​Community Partnerships with many nonprofits that we support both financially and with volunteerism. We have partnered with Easter Seals of NEI, Big Brothers and Big Sisters of NEI, Boys and Girls Club, Super Shot, Healthier Moms and Babies, Hope's Harbor, Meals on Wheels and a citywide Narcan Distribution Project to name a few.

​

Engage in a community group that is truly designed to support physician families!

 

​We can't wait to meet you!
