The Armenian community in California was growing very quickly in numbers during the 1970s and 1980s due to immigration from many parts of the world. The formation of an Armenian medical society was a necessity in conjunction with many other Armenian medical societies throughout the world like those in France, Lebanon, and Canada.
Dr. Misak Barsamian took the initiative to create a medical society and in collaboration with Dr. Artin Sagherianand, Dr. Jean Momdjian, the directory of Armenian physicians in California was compiled and the by-laws were prepared.
On October 4, 1985, a general assembly meeting was convened. The society was named the Armenian American Medical Society of California and its first executive committee was established.
The mission of AAMSC is to cultivate and develop professional, social, and friendly relations amongst its members, and to contribute toward the improvement of the health services rendered to the Armenian community in the Diaspora and Armenia. Since its inception, the Armenian American Medical Society of California has been a vibrant and integral part of the community in all its endeavors.
