RG134-08-13Description
ohn K. Webb, M.D.'s History of Medicine in Greenville County traces local healthcare from Native American medicine men to the modern hospital system. The first physician, Dr. Nelson, arrived post-Revolution, followed by notable early doctors like Dr. A.B. Crook. During the Civil War, the "Soldiers’ Rest" became Greenville’s first hospital. Efforts by women’s groups led to the creation of Greenville City Hospital in 1912. The narrative highlights key figures like Dr. T.R.W. Wilson and Dr. Max Davis and the evolution of medical practices and institutions, culminating in the advanced Greenville Hospital System with accredited facilities and specialized medical staff.Collection
