About this ebook
The story of Faulkner Hospital begins with the Faulkner family. Dr. George Faulkners ancestry includes one of the first woolens manufacturers, a Revolutionary War colonel, and an accused Salem witch. When Dr. Faulkners daughter Mary died, the hospital was established in her honor. Paul Reveres great-granddaughter broke ground on the hospital, which sits on land where the Peacock Tavern, owned by Samuel Adams, once stood. The original building contained 26 beds, 6 of which were free. A nursing school opened in 1903, on the day the hospital opened. Using images from the hospitals vast archives, Faulkner Hospital celebrates the hospitals centennial and explores its rich history as a leader in medicine, education, and community enrichment. Faulkner Hospital is a major teaching hospital to Harvard and Tufts Medical Schools, with many clinical firsts, like the discovery of rejuvenated blood. It is also home to world-renowned breast and headache centers and has implemented many unique concepts, including nurservers and monorails. Readers will learn about the hospitals role in the movie Whose Life Is It Anyway? and discover the famous writers, athletes, and royalty who have visited.
