BCMS ALLIANCE

Message from the BCMS

Alliance President

By Victoria Kohler-Webb, BBA, MS

Since 1917, the Bexar County Medical Society Alliance (BCMSA) has supported physicians and
their families throughout their journey down their medical life road. Unlike other groups, we all already
have something wonderful in common — YOU! In an ever-overwhelming and increasingly busy
world, that’s a great place to start for building fellowship and family friendships as well as expanding
your social network.
We strike a balance between purposeful, mission-driven community service and legislative advocacy,
and fun membership-bonding events. BCMSA routinely serves community partners like Sleep in Heav-
enly Peace, Ronald McDonald House and the Children’s Bereavement Center.
Together, we spearhead Alliance core initiatives like Texas Medical Association Foundation JOIN US!
(TMAF) Hard Hats for Little Heads, bringing bike helmets and safety resources to local schools like
Young Women’s Leadership Academy, and the TMAF BookShare, providing uplifting, healthy lifestyle
books to the Children’s Hospital of San Antonio Child Life Department. BCMSA proudly adds their
voice to First Tuesdays at the state capital to underscore BCMS efforts, advocate for the medical com-
munity, and achieve real results for Texas physicians and their patients.
Whether you need family-friendly fun, such as the BIGZ Family Party & General Meeting, or some
adult time at our frequent member mixer happy hours, BCMSA is there for you.
BCMSA is blessed with a tradition of outstanding leadership and, believe me, there are some really
big shoes to fill! Our wonderful board and I are excited to get to work and add to their legacy. Here’s
to a happy, healthy and successful 2024 — we see it as another year full of opportunities for the Bexar
County Medical Society Alliance to demonstrate that truly WE ARE THE FAMILY OF MEDICINE.

Victoria Kohler-Webb, BBA, MS Marketing/Statistics is the 2024 Alliance President. She and Ben, an
ENT/Head & Neck Surgeon, are proud Aggies and parents to Luke, 14, and four rescue dogs.
