Heinz History Center, Pittsburgh, PA

On behalf of the Allegheny County Medical Society and ACMS Foundation, I cordially invite our members and community partners to the ACMS signature social event of the year! After a three-year in-person hiatus, the event previously known as the ACMS Foundation Gala, is making a return. But, just like everything else over the last three years, the event has gone through a bit of a transformation.

This year we will host the “ACMS Honors” event. This event, while a little less formal than the ACMS Foundation Gala (no evening gowns or tuxedos required), will provide the same opportunity for connection (and reconnection) with colleagues, a chance to celebrate all our physicians, and most importantly, an evening of fundraising and awareness of the ACMS Foundation.

While you will not see all the traditional ACMS Awards being acknowledged this year, we will be honoring many of our distinguished members who received prestigious recognition from PAMED in 2022 & 2023. We also look forward to highlighting several of the community partners who have been recipients of ACMS Foundation Grants.

As a bonus, ACMS has been working with the Heinz History Center to move many of the historical artifacts from our office basement in the Babb Building to the library at the Heinz History Center for safer keeping and preservation. At the April 27 event, guests can view the artifacts on display. Curious to know what was in the ACMS Bulletin in the early 1900’s? We have you covered -- with over 100 years of bound Bulletins! You will also find hundreds of pictures of famous Allegheny County physicians and handwritten meeting minutes for the earliest days of the Allegheny County Medical Society. This event is truly a celebration of the profession’s future while also honoring the rich and historical past.

We hope you will join us for this celebration. Tickets start at $100 and include dinner stations, open bar, valet parking, and access to the Heinz History Center Sports Exhibit. We are also offering a Circle of Friends ticket package for $500. This includes: two tickets to the event and acknowledgement in the program and on the ACMS website. A portion of the ticket package is tax-deductible.

We are grateful to our sponsors as sponsorship is integral to the final donation to the Foundation. A full sponsorship package for community partners and healthcare organizations who wish to sponsor this event is available, with proceeds from the event going to the ACMS Foundation.
