For The Betterment of Public Health Since 1791
Historically, this Society has promoted the art and science of medicine and the betterment of public health. The passing of time does not change that concept. The state of the art and the scope of science augments the thrust toward the betterment of public health to include an active participation in the legislative process at all levels of government, as the Society seeks to carry out its purpose for the "betterment of public health." These objectives are attainable (1) by federating and bringing into one compact state organization every physician licensed to practice in New Hampshire, and (2) by uniting with similar associations/societies in other states as a part of the American Medical Association.
