LANE COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY

What LANE COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY does

Lane County Medical Society (LCMS) is a private nonprofit professional membership organization founded in 1889 in Eugene, Oregon (the same year the city was established), serving licensed Doctors of Medicine and Doctors of Osteopathy practicing in Lane County. The society unifies approximately 800 physician members through annual dues (Active $325, Associate/Part-time $243.75, Retired/Resident/Inactive $60, plus a $100 new-member processing fee), magazine advertising, directory sales, and event sponsorships priced at $800. Core member-facing products include the Physician Wellness Program (six free counseling sessions and $1,100 in coaching funding per member annually), a monthly Medical Matters magazine, an annual Membership Directory, an online Career Center, a Mentorship Program pairing senior and junior physicians, and the recently launched Physician Leadership Project (15-physician cohort completed September 2025 with up to 24.75 CME credits, funded by The Autzen Foundation).

The society's technology stack is built on YourMembership.com's association management platform, which powers the website, member database, event management, email marketing, career center, and online store; member login supports Facebook and LinkedIn OAuth, and event ticketing integrates with Ticket Tailor while matching-gift lookup uses Double the Donation. A 501(c)(3) affiliate — the Lane County Medical Society Foundation (EIN 32-0080103) — funds physician well-being initiatives, and the society partners with the Oregon Medical Association for state-level advocacy.

Operationally, LCMS is staffed by four employees (Executive Director, Foundation Director, Communications Director, and Membership & Accounts Manager), is governed by a physician board led by President Bryan McVay, MD (2026 slate), and operates from a Springfield, Oregon mailing address. Its go-to-market is community-led: peer networking, social and educational events (Picnic in the Park, Community Walk with a Doc, Society Meetings with dinner programs, Annual Golf Tournament, Women Physician Group), advocacy at local/state/national levels, and endorsed partnerships with healthcare-adjacent providers including Favorite Healthcare Staffing, Oregon Pacific Bank, Sapient Wealth Management, Umpqua Bank's healthcare practice, and PeaceHealth.
