Sierra Sacramento Valley Medical Society's Museum of Medical History

Join us at the Sierra Sacramento Valley Medical Society's Museum of Medical History!  The museum showcases artifacts including a working iron lung, medical and dental equipment from years gone by, Civil War amputation kits, quackery devices, patent medicines (including some with cocaine) and Chinese medicine. It is also home to an extensive library containing medical textbooks and journals dating back to the 1800s.  The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and staff have offered to turn on the iron lung before our VOAD partners take a free self-guided tour.  Shifts are listed in 2 hour increments below to give participating members hours and to give the our volunteer program and Museum leadership an idea of when members plan to participate.  Your self-guided tour can be any length of time that works for you.  There is a large parking lot behind the museum. Before or after your visit, stop by for a meal at Dos Coyotes from noon - 8 p.m., at 6450 Folsom Blvd (Folsom and 65th) which is only 1.7 miles away.  The Sacramento Medical Reserve Corps Foundation is holding a fundraiser on 7/21 for our SMRC program and 20% of purchases made between noon and 8 p.m.  will be donated - just tell them before you order that you are there for the SMRC Foundation fundraiser.  Your help with making this fundraiser a success is appreciated!
