THANK YOU FOR YOUR SSVMS/CMA MEMBERSHIP

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Giving Tuesday and Thank You!

I invite you to join me in supporting the impactful programs of the SSVMS Community Programs. Your generosity helps increase access to healthcare, improve health outcomes, and nurture the future of medicine.

Your donation directly supports programs like SPIRIT, which delivers life-changing medical care to uninsured patients, and Joy of Medicine, which helps physicians reclaim their well-being. It also funds the Future of Medicine, inspiring students to pursue healthcare careers. From scholarships for future physicians to programs like SMART Medical Clearance and the Sacramento County Opioid Coalition, your support builds a healthier, stronger community.

Together, we can make a difference. Donate today and help sustain these vital programs that benefit our region.

As this is my final message to you as President of SSVMS, I want to acknowledge the incredible achievements we’ve accomplished together this year – from defeating Measure C to passing Proposition 35 and so much more. My deepest gratitude goes to my colleagues on the Board of Directors, our dedicated volunteers, all our members, and, of course, the incomparable SSVMS staff.

Thank you all!

Vanessa Walker, DO

SSVMS President
