Episode 86: Medicine At The Alamo
The Alamo is known for many things: a Spanish Mission, a battlefield, a treasured historic site. But one of its lesser-known distinctions is being home to the first hospital in Texas.
We reveal how medical science shaped the Alamo, from the world’s first documented vaccine being administered on its grounds to the backdrop of the battle’s last stand being right inside the hospital. Featuring the Alamo's Researcher Thomas Ledesma and the Alamo's STEAM Education Specialist Morgan Oldham.
