History Meets Healthcare: From the Civil War to Modern Medicine

Join us for our second Summer Symposium, History Meets Healthcare, a thought-provoking symposium hosted by Seminary Ridge Museum. This unique event brings together distinguished speakers who have served in the field of healthcare and now explore its intersections with history. Each presenter will share insights that connect their medical expertise to compelling historical topics—from battlefield medicine to public health movements and beyond. Discover how past practices, people, and policies continue to shape today’s healthcare landscape.

We're excited to welcome historians Fran Feyock, Col. Thomas Frank, M.D., Dr. Jon Willen, Jackie Greer, and Dr. Stephen Goldman as they join SRMEC Director of Education and Interpretation Codie Eash.

Included with your in-person registration is light breakfast, catered lunch, book signing opportunity, admission to Seminary Ridge Museum, and a voucher for a guided tour of the historic Cupola.

Questions may be directed to Rob Williams, Director of Outreach, at rwilliams@seminaryridge.org or 717-339-1354.

All proceeds support Seminary Ridge Museum and Education Center.
