Who We Are

The Collier County Medical Society was founded in 1957 with 10 physician members. Over the past 50 years, the Collier County Medical Society has grown to over 500 active physicians representing all specialties. Our members practice in Naples, Marco Island, Immokalee and Bonita Springs and are dedicated to bringing quality health care to the citizens of Collier County.

CCMS is a physicians’ professional organization, and therefore is organized and defined by physicians’ interests. Membership is voluntary and physicians are not required to be members to practice in the county. Membership brings together those physicians who have an interest in organized medicine and share the same goals of maintaining high standards in clinical care in Collier County. CCMS is affiliated with the Florida Medical Association and with the American Medical Association.

CCMS enjoys close working relationships with NCH HealthCare System, Physicians Regional Medical Center, Collier County Health Department, clinic practice administrators and many vendors in the county. The Medical Society strives to act in the best interests of physicians, patients and the public.

Vision Statement

The Collier County Medical Society is an organization of physicians dedicated to promoting quality healthcare for all patients and to serving the professional needs of its members.
