CAPITAL MEDICAL SOCIETY

What CAPITAL MEDICAL SOCIETY does

Capital Medical Society (CMS) is a Tallahassee-based, non-profit professional membership organization founded in 1973 for licensed allopathic (M.D.) and osteopathic (D.O.) physicians across four Florida counties (Leon, Gadsden, Jefferson, Wakulla). The organization has grown from 158 founding members to over 600 licensed physician members today, with an operational staff of approximately 10 people. CMS delivers a suite of member services including free continuing medical education (CME) events, legislative advocacy through its Florida Medical Association affiliation, a physician referral directory generating approximately 2,000 referrals per year, practice management resources, discounted malpractice insurance and CE Broker access, a Physician Wellness Program offering confidential coaching, and the weekly CapMed Today newsletter and bi-monthly Cap Scan magazine.

The affiliated Capital Medical Society Foundation, a 501(c)(3) entity incorporated in 1975 (renamed in 1981), operates the We Care Network charity care program established in 1992, which coordinates donated specialty medical and dental care from 300+ volunteer physicians and 40 dentists to low-income uninsured adults; the network has delivered over $140 million in care cumulatively, including $5 million in 2024-25. The Foundation also administers more than $850,000 in scholarships to Florida State University College of Medicine medical students and runs the FSUCOM Food Pantry addressing student food insecurity.

Revenue is generated through tiered annual membership dues (Students $20/four years, Residents $25, Active Physicians $450, Associate $300, Retired $50-$200), advertising placements in Cap Scan and CapMed Today, and tax-deductible donations and grants to the Foundation from county health departments, United Way of the Big Bend, Capital Health Plan, MagMutual, and other community partners. Distribution is community-led via medical education partnerships with FSU College of Medicine and TMH residency programs, signature annual events, digital communications, and a regional physician referral ecosystem serving as a defensible regional hub for physician professional services and charity care coordination.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• American Medical Association: National professional membership organization for physicians, providing advocacy, CME, and physician resources across the U.S. AMA operates at the federal/national level with overlapping member-benefit categories but far broader scope than CMS.
• Texas Medical Association: Large state-level physician membership organization in Texas with a comparable CME, advocacy, and member-benefit model to CMS but operating at much greater scale and budget.
• California Medical Association: Statewide California physician membership association delivering advocacy, CME, and practice support. Operates the same membership/advocacy framework as CMS but at state scale across a much larger physician population.

Others

• Voluntary Health Organizations (e.g., American Heart Association Florida): Voluntary nonprofit health organizations raise funds and distribute grants to support healthcare access and community health programs—a structure analogous to the Capital Medical Society Foundation's grantmaking and We Care Network coordination function.

Direct peers

• Florida Medical Association: State-level professional membership organization for Florida physicians; CMS is formally affiliated with FMA and sends delegations to FMA Annual Meetings. FMA provides the statewide counterpart to CMS's regional membership, advocacy, and CME offerings.
• Hillsborough County Medical Association: Florida county medical association serving the Tampa Bay area physicians. Closely comparable as a regional membership organization delivering CME, advocacy, and community programs for licensed M.D.s and D.O.s.
• Broward County Medical Association: County medical association for Broward County, Florida physicians. Comparable nonprofit professional society offering advocacy, CME events, and member services to licensed physicians in a single region.
• Duval County Medical Society: County-level physician society serving Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. Directly comparable in mission, governance, and member-benefit structure to Capital Medical Society.
• Orange County Medical Society: Florida county-level physician membership society serving the Orlando region. Operates with the same regional membership, CME, and advocacy model as CMS but in a different geography.

Emerging players

• Project Access (county-level charity care programs): AMA-affiliated Project Access programs coordinate donated specialty care for uninsured patients in local markets, structurally similar to CMS's We Care Network. Comparable as emerging players in the same donated-care coordination niche.
