From Idea to Innovation
Marshfield, WI is mostly known for its clinic that carries its name, Marshfield Clinic. A town of around 18,000 people is home to this thriving medical center that was started by 6 Doctors with and "Idea" (to bring quality medical care to rural communities) in 1916. This old leather Doctor's bag belonged one of the founding Doctors. I wonder how many house calls it made? From the "Idea" in 1916 to the new paperless medical records in 2007, "Innovation", Marshfield Clinic has become a cutting edge Medical Research and clinic organization that treats people from around the world and every state in the US. It now has over 50 outreach centers in northern WI. and employes over 700 doctors with specialties in more than 80 areas. Total employment now exceeds 7,000.
I was blessed to be able to use items from the Clinic's archives. Normally that is not allowed, I guess I knew the right person. The bag and old record book go back to the early 1900's and the tablet is what is in use today.
