BCMS
Birthday – 166 years old |
||||||||
|
The year was 1853, when a group of medical visionaries, led by
several physicians from San Antonio, organized and formed the Texas Medical
Association in January and on September 22, 1853, formed the Bexar County
Medical Society, making BCMS the first county medical society in Texas. This
year, BCMS celebrates 166 years of BCMS physicians continuously
fulfilling the BCMS mission of serving and representing the member
physicians of Bexar County in providing quality health care for their
patients and the public. Click here to

counseling, including up to 4 live sessions and unlimited text/email
messaging with a Texas-licensed counselor/therapist. * Check your

in 2009, after 53 years of the most enjoyable and pleasant years imaginable.
A year later she was upgraded to Alzheimer’s disease by a neurologist. When
she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, I was given very little information
pertaining to the disease and virtually nothing as to what to expect as a
