Biography or History
The Woman's Auxiliary to the Bernalillo County (New Mexico) Medical Society was organized on May 24, 1926 by Mrs. Leroy S. Peters and Mrs. P.G. Cornish with the purpose of furthering better fellowship among the county doctors’ wives. By the time the organization’s first "Year Book 1926 – 1927" was published, the purpose had officially become "to extend the aims of the Medical profession through the wives of the doctors to the various woman’s organizations which look to the advancement of health and education; to assist in entertainment at state, district and county society meetings; to promote acquaintanceship among doctor's families, that local unity and harmony may be increased." The membership was to be composed of the wives of all members of the Bernalillo County Medical Association in good and regular standing. There were twenty-four charter members. With the changing roles of women in society, the organization disbanded in the 1970s.
