The Caduceus Society

The Caduceus Society is a philanthropic membership society for physicians who have made a major financial commitment to Hendrick. The Society exists to:

• Support Hendrick Health System's role of providing the highest standards of patient care
• Support the Endowment Fund of the Hendrick Medical Center Foundation
• Perpetuate Hendrick Health System's longstanding tradition of meeting the health needs of the many communities we serve

The Caduceus Society takes its name from the Caduceus symbol, which has represented man's power to wage war on disease and death since the Babylonian empire in 3500 BC. Today it is synonymous with the medical profession as the heralding trademark for both the American Medical Association and the World Medical Association.

The Caduceus symbol stands for the highest ethics of medical practice and care.
