Steven Reames

Executive Director @Ada County Medical Society, Inc

Boise, ID, US

ACMS connects the docs of Ada and Elmore Counties and nothing gives me greater pleasure than helping make those connections. I am responsible for leading our local physicians\' membership association, now comprised of more than 2700 doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, medical students and residents. My job involves the nuts to soup of event planning, marketing and design work, publications, business and sponsor development, coalition building, member education and everything in between.What I am most passionate about is helping return the practice of medicine that is focused on serving people, not productivity and profits. The rapid industrialization of healthcare, combined with overburdensome regulations, has destroyed the connections between people who practice medicine, accelerating burnout, depression, and occupational PTSD. We must rehumanize healthcare by working to rebuild what carried most physicians through their careers, in spite of the difficulty of the work they do.
