of a timely nature, generally regarding social-economic subjects.
These meetings provide an opportunity for physicians to exchange
ideas and plan for the future.
The membership meets ordinarily on the third Tuesday of each month,
September-April. These are dinner meetings. All Society members
are encouraged to attend. There is never a charge for spouses of members, Residents, or students.
From these meetings come recommendations for Society policy and
action. All meetings are sponsored completely by the Peoria Medical Society unless otherwise indicated.
