The Arizona Medical Association's roots date
back to the late 1800's. Then, physicians lacked hospital
facilities, and many lived in remote places - unable to obtain
assistance or consultations when needed. In 1892, Dr. Joshua
Miller, then president of the Maricopa County Medical Society,
along with four other physicians, sent a letter to all of
the physicians of Arizona, calling a meeting to organize a
Territorial Medical Society. A few days later, Dr. Miller
was elected the first president of the newly-formed Arizona
Medical Association.
