Memory Lane Monday | 📸 Throwback to 1973!
Meet Dr. Howard Nathan, the first doctor to "hang out his shingle" and establish a medical practice in our community, alongside Nurse Wanda Hutt, RN.
When 26-year-old Dr. Nathan began his practice in September 1973, he and Wanda were equipped with some of the most advanced medical resources available at the time, including:
🩺 MDS Lab Services
❤️ On-site ECG machine
💊 On-site medications and oxygen
☎️ Code-a-phone answering and message machine
🚑 On-site resuscitation equipment
All state-of-the-art... for the day!
Looking back, it's remarkable to see how healthcare has evolved while recognizing the dedicated professionals who helped lay the foundation for medical care in our community. We are grateful for the vision, commitment, and service of pioneers like Dr. Nathan and Wanda Hutt.
