The Society for Thermal Medicine (STM) was founded in 1981 as the North American Hyperthermia Society (NAHS). One of the founders and the first president of the NAHS Group was Dr. James Haim I.

The first meeting of the NAHS group took place in Detroit, Michigan, in 1981^[1] In 1986 the Group changed its name to The Society for Thermal Medicine.^[2] Today STM is a premier, international scientific forum for fostering interaction and innovation in the applications of thermal therapy for cancer and other diseases.^[3] The meetings of the Society take place annually in the US, and once in a 4-year period with other international societies.^[4] The official scientific journal of STM is the International Journal of Hyperthermia.^[5]
