The Jefferson County Medical Society was a professional organization which served as the Board of Health for Jefferson County. It was first organized in 1865 by Joseph Riley Smith. Stella Harris, wife of then-President Seale Harris, founded a women's auxiliary in 1923.
In the 1950s the society shared offices with physician William Coleman in the Southern Life & Health Insurance building at 2121 Highland Avenue.
