Tour Savannah with a Nurse
My Story
My name’s Matt Schafer, and a nurse at Memorial Hospital. During my time as a nurse in Savannah, I’ve discovered that this city has an incredibly diverse and complicated history with medicine. For example:
⚪ The company, Coca-Cola was founded here.
⚪ A soldier brought here by Georgia Washington to improve our military was probably a woman.
⚪ Although Jews were not allowed, a Jewish doctor’s family is a major reason that our city survived the early days of colonization.
