How a Boston Harbor Barge Changed the Course of Pediatric Medicine.
Don't miss this opportunity to hear the remarkable story of the Floating Hospital for Children, a Boston institution that became a pioneer in pediatric healthcare! The hospital began in 1894 as a ship commissioned to bring the city's poor, sick children out onto the harbor for fresh air and medical treatment. Throughout its impressive history, the Floating Hospital made immeasurable contributions to the field of pediatrics, and eventually transitioned to its present-day, brick-and-mortar building at Tufts Medical Center.
Daniel Bird, speaker, served as the director of volunteers for Tufts Medical Center, and is the foremost expert on the founding and legacy of the hospital.
