Virtual Lecture: "Medicine for Women, Medicine by Women: The Founding of Boston's Vincent Memorial Hospital"

In 1891, Vincent Memorial Hospital was founded to care for working-class women; the early medical staff was comprised exclusively of women doctors. The Vincent Club was founded shortly thereafter, in part by the women of the Gibson family, in order to support the work of the hospital. Join Vincent Memorial Hospital Foundation historian, William Baker, Jr., and Sarah Hagglund of the Gibson House to explore this fascinating time in Boston’s medical history and learn more about the various roles women had in creating, staffing, and supporting women’s healthcare.
