Butte-Glenn Medical Society Online located in Northern California
The Butte-Glenn Medical Society (BGMS) is a physician
organization located in Chico, CA. The BGMS is affiliated
with the California Medical Association assisting
physicians to provide the highest quality of care to their
patients in Butte and Glenn Counties.
The BGMS has physician members located in the
communities of Chico, Gridley, Oroville, Orland, Paradise
and Willows. According to BGMS files, the colorful history
of the Butte-Glenn Medical Society starts with Oroville
meetings of a dozen physicians in 1857. Stops and starts
were common with the early medical organizations until
the 1900’s. Glenn County was organized in 1891 and its
first medical association formed shortly thereafter.
There were informal alliances between the Butte County
and the Glenn County physicians until their formal union
into one society in 1946. Our Society exists to live up to
our stated mission: to promote the science and art of
medicine, to protect the public health, and to promote
improvement of the medical profession.
