Michigan State Medical Society

Incorporated on June 5, 1866,[1] MSMS is a non-profit, membership organization of physicians, graduates completing residency programs, and medical school students.

The mission of the Michigan State Medical Society is to improve the lives of physicians so they may best care for the people they serve.

Formation of the Michigan State Medical Society took place June 5, 1866 in the Supreme Court Room of Odd Fellows Hall in Detroit, near Woodward and E. Jefferson Avenues.

The terraced landscape, the slender columns, 31 rippling arches and the graceful lines inspired visitors to remark, "It seems to float in the air."

In 1991, the Yamasaki firm designed an atrium connecting the original building to the Cyrus M. Stockwell wing, named for the society's first president.

The Michigan State Medical Society building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
