Summary

The Medical Auxiliary sought names and birth years for people born at the Medical Center during its first 25 years to create a permanent historical display.

Evidence and limits

This is a public appeal and project report, not a completed registry or birth record.

Sources

  1. Reports Skip McDonough’s Auxiliary committee effort to compile names and birth years for babies born at the Medical Center since it opened, because no list was found in Medical Center or county records. It is a public appeal and project report, not a completed registry or birth record. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.

  2. The held ten-page combined February–March issue PDF is paired with the canonical OCR source and confirms the birth-history appeal.
