I often wonder what the 101 original founders of the Medical & Chirurgical Faculty of the State of Maryland would have thought if they knew that their organization would still be thriving after 225 years.
Those of us who work at MedChi, serve on the boards and committees, and volunteer in myriad other ways, are proud to continue the tradition that was started in 1799.
We keep to the original mandate from the original charter documents, which we were pleased to have with us at our celebration at the Maryland State House: To prevent the citizens from risking our lives in the hands of ignorant practitioners and pretenders to the healing art.
As we wind down this celebratory year, we thank you for being a part of it, celebrating our history, and continuing to support our work.
Happy New Year!
Hello Meg, Happy New Year! I am sure that you are creating a solid foundation for MedChi's next 225 years.
