Abstract

I had the privilege to be hosted by Galter Health Sciences Library & Learning Center for the 2nd year of the National Library of Medicine Associate Fellowship program. This presentation focused on the history of the 12th General Hospital Unit, Northwestern Medical Schools Unit during WWII and discussed my efforts last year to share its legacy with the Northwestern community and public at large.
