In the late 19th Century, Exeter was without a local hospital. A grassroots fundraising effort led to the establishment of Exeter Cottage Hospital in the 1890s. From its humble beginnings on Pine Street to the current campus on Alumni Drive, Rimkunas will explore the history of Exeter Hospital in this illustrated talk.
