Dr. George Brown practiced medicine at the hospital in Tanana, Alaska from 1970 to 1972 where he worked with health aides in the surrounding villages. He later had a private practice in Fairbanks. In the interview, George talks about the role of the physician as the health aides' primary contact, the early communication system, doctor travel to the villages, and his assessment of the health aide program. His wife, Marcia, periodically interjected her own memories to add to his stories. George also provided a selection of photographs from his personal collection. |
