Historical NoteReturn to Top
Theodore Wiprud, the first full-time director of the Medical Society of the District of Columbia, was born of Norwegian parents in 1891. He grew up in Frederic, Wisconsin, and was a successful banker there by the early 1920s. During the Depression, local doctors asked Wiprud for advice about unpaid bills. As a result, Wiprud became the business manager of a medical clinic in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. Wiprud spent nine years as executive secretary of the Medical Society of Milwaukee County. He moved to Washington, D.C., in 1938 to head the Medical Society of the District of Columbia, where he remained until his retirement in 1962. In addition to these duties, Wiprud became an accomplished writer. As managing editor for the Medical Annals of the District of Columbia, he published a book and several articles in academic medical journals. Theodore Wiprud died of pneumonia at his home in Chevy Chase, Maryland, in 1978.
