What Wisconsin Medical Society Inc does
Mission
To improve the health of the people of wisconsin by supporting and strengthening physicians' ability to practice high quality patient care in a changing environment.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The membership program is the foundation of the society. It encompasses convening the annual meeting of the members. Policy debate and formulation will convert to online forums to make the process more inclusive to all members. The society offers education programs which include medical education credits. The society presents timely and relevant educational opportunities through recurring events such as leadership training collaborations and the physician leadership summit. The society works in strong alliance with its county medical societies and maintains an active presence in the american medical association.
Advocacy is a major presence for the society. The society has a strong voice at the state capitol and participates with the american medical association and other national associations when appropriate at the federal level. Staff members facilitate both in-person and virtual forums to listen to the doctors' concerns. The society also mobilizes doctor leadership to visit the wisconsin state capital via its participation and support of doctor day annually. A political action committee and conduit are maintained to offer support to legislative campaigns to help fight for the society's concerns.
Strategic initiatives address current critical concerns of our membership in areas of physician wellness and health, emerging physician leadership training, and health literacy and mental health initiatives. In addition, the continuation of the annual physician leadership summit brings together healthcare decision makers to talk about the challenges and advanced care planning initiative continues to protect patients in their time of need. The emphasis for these initiatives is to create value for the members.
The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $7.4M to $9.9M (+34%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 12% · 2023 17% · 2024 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
