The Yakima County Medical Society (YCMS) has a long distinguished history dating back to 1901, with a defined mission to promote and preserve the highest standards of medical care and foster the ethical principles of the medical profession. Our mission is as important and timely today as it was then. The YCMS has a positive impact on the citizens of Yakima County in a myriad of ways and we are proud of our members' continued efforts to ensure high quality and cost-effective medicine for our community.

The YCMS is a voluntary, non-profit organization of over 300 premier physicians in our county who strive to improve the access to health care in our community. Clearly, our most important function is our advocacy for patients. Our physicians believe that they are the primary advocates for patients' access to health care, especially in this changing world of medical care delivery systems, and they work tirelessly to support patients' rights.

Our website, offers information on all of ur members by name and specialty. A print directory that lists all of our physicians is also available for purchase. We are confident that you will benefit by contacting physicians who are members of the yCMS when seeking care or important opinions regarding your health or the health of your loved ones.
