The Nankin Township Historical Society

  Outside of their Frankenstein barbarism Eloise and Wayne County General Hospital had a reputation for innovative medical procedures and research.   As this press photo somewhat attests to, Sylvester E. Gould of WCGH speaks of artery replacement surgeries which were going on at Wayne State University that he was seemingly part of. Of course, the hospitals always had affiliations to the local colleges and universities so it might have been in conjunction with those programs that he was assisting Wayne. Either way, the photo of Gould and New Jersey Dr. Stuart Stevenson is available on eBay.

My longstanding interest in Eloise has fostered an affinity for hospital and medical ephemera. Though I'm failing to remember which I estate sale I purchased this polio shot record from it was certainly within the range of Nankin. I think it was in Livonia but might have been Dearborn Heights. Either way, the John Breen family is documented from the late 1950s to the early 1960s.
