Founded in 1781, the Massachusetts Medical Society (MMS) is the oldest continuously operating medical society in the United States. For over two centuries, MMS has been a steadfast advocate for physicians across the Commonwealth providing leadership, advocacy, and lifelong learning while upholding the highest standards of ethics, equity, and patient care.
Actuate Insurance, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MMS, was created to serve physicians and health care professionals. We’re proud to advance the MMS mission — promoting medical knowledge, supporting public health, and enhancing the well-being of physicians across Massachusetts.
Just like MMS and your specialty associations, the insurance industry’s purpose is to help communities collectively manage shared risk and protect what matters most. Supporting your independent insurance agency today is an impactful way to strengthen and support the Massachusetts Medical Society as well as our community of medical and health care professionals.
