The University of Toledo\u2019s Libraries are displaying an exhibit from the National Library of Medicine this semester titled \u201cEvery Necessary Care and Attention: George Washington and Medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWith it\u2019s medical and history connection, we thought visitors on both campuses would find the exhibit to be an engaging point of interest while at the libraries,\u201d said Jodi Jameson, instructor and librarian in the College of Nursing on Health Science Campus.<\/p>\n
Featuring six graphic panels, the story of medicine in the early American colonial era is observed through the history of Washington\u2019s family, staff, slaves, troops and his own health. <\/p>\n
\u201cWashington had a lot of different responsibilities and wore many hats,\u201d Jameson said. \u201cAs a plantation owner, businessman, Revolutionary War general, husband, father and, of course, president, Washington\u2019s life was full of demands. The health and safety of others was of considerable importance to him, which is reflected in the images on display.\u201d<\/p>\n
The free, public exhibit will be on display in Mulford Library on Health Science Campus through Friday, Sept. 18. It will then move to Carlson Library on Main Campus, where it can be seen on the second floor from Monday, Sept. 21, through Saturday, Oct. 10.<\/p>\n
