Historical notes, vignettes, newspaper articles and photos are being sought by Dr. John Davis for a history of Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital that he is now writing.
Davis, Bassett’s director of Medical Education emeritus, will begin with the Bassett family in the mid-19th century through its founding in 1922 to its status today as the 180-bed Bassett Medical Center, the foundation of a nine-county healthcare system.
Dr. Davis has given a number of talks on the subject over the past few years, and the book was requested by Bassett CEO Dr. William Streck and the Friends of Bassett.
“It should also project Bassett’s history as the evolution of an original and effective model for health care delivery in rural America,” said Davis, who may be reached at 547-6988 or davi7js4@hughes.net.
