What the Sierra Sacramento Valley Medical Society Alliance Does for Our Community

Since 1931, the Sierra Sacramento Medical Society Alliance (SSVMSA,) also known as the Alliance, is a 503(c)(3) organization non-profit organization. The Alliance is composed of members who are physician families (i.e. physicians' spouses and domestic partners, physicians, residents, medical students and Friends of the Alliance) as supporters dedicated to bettering our community. In partnership with the Sierra Sacramento Valley Medical Society (SSVMS,) we are dedicated to improving the quality of health through funding, volunteer support and education.
