UCSF Archives & Special Collections - Do the Best for Our Soldiers.

Join UCSF Archives & Special Collections for a guided tour of the exhibit and an afternoon talk with Drs. Morton G. Rivo and Wen T. Shen. Dr. Shen will speak on the biography of Dr. Howard C. Naffziger. Lieutenant Colonel Howard C. Naffziger, a prominent neurosurgeon before the war, served in the Army Medical Corps in France and at home, as Chief of the Neuro-Surgical Service at the U.S. Army Letterman General Hospital located in the Presidio. Naffziger became the Chair of the first Department of Neurosurgery at the University of California in 1947. Our own Dorothy Wood, pictured here, was the favorite anesthesiologist of Dr. Naffziger.
