Our Mission
The Sierra Sacramento Valley Medical Society is dedicated to upholding the authority and autonomy of physicians in the delivery of professional and ethical medical care.
Principles
In carrying out the mission of the Society, we recognize the following principles:
- All physicians, regardless of mode of practice, are uniquely qualified and committed to compassionate treatment of patients.
- Physicians share a commitment to uphold the law, standards and principles of the profession and will take action against any violation thereof.
- Physicians unified by this commitment resist the divisive stresses, which threaten to fracture the shared values of our profession.
- The Society helps physicians reject the intrusions of undue economic pressures into medical issues.
- Through membership in the Medical Society and participation in its committees and community health activities, physicians promote the art and science of medicine and defend the public health.
By joining others of like purpose, we strive to represent all physicians and to strengthen our historic role as patient and health care advocates.
