The mission of the Lexington Medical Society is to enhance the profession of medicine and to provide service and leadership responsive to the interests of members and their patients.

The Lexington Medical Society^SM (LMS) is a non-profit professional association of physicians in Fayette County, Kentucky.

LMS is a voluntary organization founded in 1799. It is a component of the Kentucky Medical Association which together with other state medical societies forms the American Medical Association. While a majority of physicians belong to these organizations, there are some who do not participate in these activities.

Through its elected officers, committees and full-time staff, LMS seeks to assure that quality medical care is available at a reasonable cost to all residents of Fayette County. 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 is also involved in community projects. For example, the Society along with the LMS Auxiliary sponsored the establishment of the Ronald McDonald House, a home for families of chronically ill children who are receiving medical care in Lexington.

Also, your county medical society can help you in finding a doctor, in scheduling a speaker for a group or in making a complaint against a member physician.

LMS exists to serve the profession and the public it represents. If you would like to know more about the LMS, please speak to your physician or call the LMS at (859) 278-0569.
