Description
By Frederic A. Wallace, 2015.
Framingham’s Town Historian presents his latest work, Pushing for Cushing In War and Peace. A History of Cushing Hospital: 1943-1991, Framingham, Massachusetts.
Fred tackles a fascinating piece of twentieth century town history, that of the Cushing Hospital, a complex built here during World War II for the U.S. Army. Relying heavily on in-person interviews, he reconstructs its wartime history and how, in peacetime, it became a leader in the field of geriatric medicine.
