Histories Facility Managers: Parkland Hospital & the JFK Assassination

The  @HealthcareFacilitiesNetwork  was talking with a colleague and they said to us, "Why don't you record an episode about the JFK assassination." This really is not what we do here at the Network until we thought, what if we cover it from the perspective of the Director of Facilities Management and the Director of Emergency Management? So that is what we did; what was the impact on @ParklandMemorialHospital  Facilities Department when JFK fatefully visited Dallas in November 1963?

Thanks to our guests David Neely (Maine Medical Center) and Jeffrey Henne (University of Pennsylvania Health) for taking on those roles at Parkland, circa 1963.
