Courage and Resolve in Nation and Institution Building

Major General Joseph Warren's death at the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775, secured his legacy as a revolutionary war hero. Lesser known is his role as an advocate for organized healthcare for the poor and needy. Both he and his brother John advanced American medicine during the Revolutionary and Early Republic eras. In the early 1800s, John's son Dr. John Collins Warren would build upon those ideals through his own role in co-founding the Massachusetts General Hospital. Join us in person or online as Dr. Forman explores the lives of these three men and their continued influence on current health care.
