A year worth celebrating for the Northern Colorado Medical Society!
OUR YEAR IN REVIEW
Our Mission

The mission of the Northern Colorado Medical Society (NCMS) is to advocate on behalf of our physician members, to encourage a strong and healthy medical profession, and to improve the health and wellbeing of all people in our community.
IT'S BEEN A YEAR WORTH CELEBRATING!

As 2017 began, the Northern Colorado Medical Society hit the ground running. The NCMS Board of Directors, with the help of an all-member survey, set off to address the 2017 objectives: physician wellness, opioid epidemic, advanced care directives, local policy issues, member outreach, community outreach and social events.
 
We are very proud and thankful for the support and commitment from our annual sponsors, Board of Directors and our current membership of 859 northern Colorado physicians.
