About Us

The Lexington Medical Society (LMS) is a non-profit professional association of physicians in Fayette County, Kentucky. LMS is a voluntary organization founded in 1799. It is one of the oldest medical societies in the country. It is a component of the Kentucky Medical Association which together with other state medical societies forms the American Medical Association.

Through its elected officers, committees and full-time staff, LMS seeks to serve as the principal voice and resource for Central Kentucky physicians to enhance their professional lives and improve the health of the community. LMS provides a forum for the interchange of ideas and information. Each year LMS members contribute many hours to help guide the development of medical practice and to nurture awareness of medicine’s importance to the community. Your county medical society members are involved in many community projects such as Surgery on Sunday, the Baby Health Service, the Ronald McDonald House, and Camp Horsin Around.
