Waring Library Society to sponsor history lecture on health care

Walter Edgar, Ph.D., director of the Institute for Southern Studies at the University of South Carolina, will present the Joseph I. Waring Jr. Lecture at 5:30 p.m., April 15 in Basic Science Building Auditorium. Edgar’s lecture is titled, “Responding to Health Care Crises in South Carolina: An Historical Perspective,” and is sponsored by MUSC’s Waring Library Society.

Edgar is the author or editor of more than a dozen books on South Carolina and the American South, including his most recent publication The South Carolina Encyclopedia (2006). He is the host of two South Carolina Public Radio programs: “Walter Edgar’s Journal,” a look at contemporary events in context and “South Carolina from A to Z.”

This lecture is open to the public. A members-only reception will follow at MUSC’s Wickliffe House.

The Waring Library Society is a “friends of the library” group founded in 1979 to promote interest in the history of the health sciences and support the mission of the Waring Historical Library at MUSC. Membership in the society is open to all.
