A reminder of the pace of change, and of timeless truths, from the 1972 Annual Review of Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital:

Dr. Jarrett Folley, MHMH's chief of staff, was quoted as saying: "I would foresee an extension of things done in the outpatient area . . . with [a] closer relationship with health agencies in other communities to provide continuing care. We will be trying to determine the role of our physicians in the broadening health-care system, particularly how they may better complement other physicians and hospitals throughout northern New England."

A reminder of the pace of change, and of timeless truths, from the 1984 Dartmouth Medical School admissions viewbook:

Dr. Allen Dietrich said his objectives as a faculty member were "to establish a personal research agenda on preventive health care, to develop a strong family practice and primary-care clinical thread throughout the four years of the DMS curriculum, and to build a model family practice center. . . .

A reminder of the pace of change, and of timeless truths, from the Spring 1987 issue of this magazine:

Stuart Hanson, DMS '60, wrote: "As an internist specializing in pulmonary disease, I had begun to realize [10 years previously] that I was making my living from the end results of cigarette smoking. My mentors in pulmonary disease had trained at tuberculosis sanatoriums . . . but what I was seeing now, in my own practice, was a new set of pulmonary diseases that were in large part caused by tobacco."
