The Nurses of Ellis Island: Meet the Authors & Explore the Hospital
June 28 @ 11:00 am - 1:30 pm
Join Save Ellis Island for a special event featuring the award-winning authors and accomplished nurse historians Michelle Hehman and Arlene Keeling, as they discuss their latest work that brings to life the largely invisible yet indispensable work of nursing at the intersection of immigration and public health policy. The Nurses of Ellis Island: Life and Work inside the Golden Door tells the story of the nurses who offered hope and healing to some of America’s most vulnerable patients. Guests will receive a signed copy of the book, followed by coffee and conversation, and an exclusive guided tour of the unrestored Ellis Island Hospital Complex, where these nurses once worked. Walk the halls of history and hear the stories of their compassion and service in this unforgettable exploration of the past.
