Touro Infirmary Women’s Auxiliary

Organized to aid the hospital, the early women’s group also took upon itself the task of teaching topics such as sewing, cooking, and singing to patients and others in need. Presidents consistently recognized the work of hospitals as keystones of public health, and thus worked to educate staff on how this idea could be conveyed to the public.
