History of Maryland Medicine
History of Maryland Medicine Campaign
The Center for a Healthy Maryland is working with MedChi, The Maryland State Medical Society, to preserve the rich history of medicine in Maryland. MedChi, established in 1799, is one of the oldest medical societies in the country and is home to an impressive historical collection of archives, portraits, books, and medical artifacts dating back to the late 1700s. These collections are being made more accessible through exhibits and online displays. The Center is also gathering oral histories from some of our most prominent physicians. The Center sponsors lectures and symposia highlighting the important contributions to medicine made by Maryland physicians with topics of interest not only to the medical community, but to the broader community of people interested in history and heritage.
