About Massachusetts Medical Society

Today, the Massachusetts Medical Society continues to advocate for patients and physicians. In recent years, the Society has assumed a leadership role in public health, health system reform, and the quality of health care and patient safety. With membership that has grown from 70 members in 1781 to more than 18,000 members today, the Massachusetts Medical Society continues to serve the citizens and the physician community of Massachusetts.
