Elevating Healthcare Through Philanthropy

The 1873 Society is a distinguished giving circle of the ECMS Foundation, united by a shared commitment to strengthening healthcare access and improving lives across Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.

Named for the year our medical society was founded, the 1873 Society has its roots in the physician community — and we are proud to welcome anyone who shares our vision of a healthier, more equitable Northwest Florida. Whether you are a physician, a business leader, a community advocate, or simply someone who believes in the power of local philanthropy, there is a place for you here.

How to Become a Member

Membership in the 1873 Society begins with a gift of $3,000 to the ECMS Foundation, Inc. This commitment can be made in full by anyone who shares our mission — or, as an exclusive benefit of ECMS membership, active ECMS physician members may fulfill their gift through three annual contributions of $1,000.

Your investment directly supports the Foundation's programs serving underserved patients and the physicians who care for them.

Recognition and Appreciation

1873 Society Members are celebrated for their leadership and generosity. Your contribution is a testament to your belief that access to quality healthcare is a cornerstone of a thriving community — and your name will be recognized among those who made that belief a reality.

Memorial Contributions

The 1873 Society also welcomes Memorial Contributions as a meaningful way to honor a loved one's legacy while investing in the health and well-being of our community.
