Haunted or Historic? The Alamo’s Secrets
Step inside Miami’s medical history with Dr. Paul George, Miami’s preeminent historian, as we explore the Alamo — the oldest building at Jackson Memorial Medical Center. From the 1918 Spanish influenza epidemic to the legacy of Dr. James Jackson and activist Roxy Bolton, this episode of On Call, Off Script uncovers the stories that shaped not only shaped Jackson Memorial, but also Miami’s healthcare history. Recorded inside the preserved Alamo building, Dr. George takes us back more than 100 years to highlight the resilience, progress, and preservation efforts that continue to define Jackson today.
