Ateneo Médico Leonés: Esplendor y desaparición de una entidad científica con más de medio siglo de historia

The Ateneo Medico Leones was founded in 1934 filling a scientific gap in the city and province of Leon. Its activities were discontinued during the Spanish Civil War, starting again in the forties of the twentieth century. The Ateneo Medico Leones obtained its maximum splendor in its 50th Anniversary, in  1984. The institution started declining after 1988 and it disappeared by inactivity of its directive organs.
