Benefits of Membership The Alliance is not only a great way to meet people in the medical community, but also to support our community. The Alliance works to promote health education, encourage involvement in legislative education and support health-related charitable endeavors. A sampling of Alliance benefits includes: Monthly Meetings The monthly meetings provide an opportunity to visit with other members and conduct Alliance business in a fun environment.  To accommodate members' schedules, the Alliance has included a variety of day and evening meetings.  Meetings are typically held at surrounding country clubs, homes or places of interest.  Themes have included everything from fashion shows to wine tasting to a tour of the Florida Gulf Coast University.  The Alliance also conducts some joint meetings with the LCMS, giving you a chance to enjoy the meeting with your spouse. For information on upcoming meetings, check out our Calendar. Health-Related Charities The Alliance conducts several charitable activities throughout the year.  As a member of the Alliance, you have the opportunity to assist in our Mini-Grants programs, which allocates our fund-raised monies for needy organizations in our community. Our largest fund-raising events, be it a glitzy gala event or a relaxing night on the town, have  raised over $1,000,000 to date, all of which has stayed right here in Lee County. Our list of Projects provides more information on charitable activities.  In addition, raffles are held at every meeting.  Raffle prizes typically include beautiful baskets of goodies and gift certificates from local businesses.  Not only are the odds of winning pretty good, but the proceeds go to worthwhile causes.
