La frase es:
"En la atención y servicio a sus colegiados y allegados, la dirección de este Colegio..."
Aquí "allegados" creo que se refiere no sólo a familiares, sino a empleados más próximos porque en párrafos anteriores hablaba de ello, por lo que no me valdría "family members" o "friends", sería un término más amplio que abarcara tanto familiares de médicos como otros empleados próximos al colectivo.
Muchas gracias

Si se refiere a las personas cercanas, no solo a familiares, quizás "acquaintance" pueda servirte. En base a tu explicación creo que equivaldría a "conocidos" en ese contexto.

their family members and associates
Apart from Neil's "others", which sounds fine but leaves it too open, in my opinion ("others" could be anyone, and they're providing a service to just anyone), I don't think there's a single word that covers everything you say the term includes. The nearest, I think, is "associates", which can mean both friends and people you work with:
"7. a person joined with another or others in an enterprise, business, etc; partner; colleague
8. a companion or friend"
http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/associat...
However, it doesn't cover family, which "allegados" does, at least potentially, so I think you need to mention "family members" separately.
I don't see it as a real problem to use two terms instead of just one, and like this it covers everything you want it to but nothing else.
