About the Mahoning County Medical Society
The Mahoning County Medical Society was founded on November 13, 1872 with ten physicians as members
and is the oldest organization of professionals in the city or county. Dr. Timothy Woodbridge, MD.,
(1810-1893) the first native born physician in Youngstown, was elected the first president. He was
re-elected six times holding office for a total of seven years, the longest term of any president.
In 1872 Youngstown was three quarters of a century old and was known as the most important settlement
in the southern part of the Western Reserve as well as one of the important cities in the entire state.
The doctors in active practice that year in the city of Youngstown totaled thirteen.
The Medical Society is governed by a Council consisting of four officers, five delegates, five
alternate delegates, six council members, one Bulletin editor, and a community relations chairperson.
Council meets every third Tuesday of the month (except during the months of July and August).
