Tickets required. \nBert Hansen\, Professor Emeritus of History at Baruch College of CUNY \nStarting near NYU’s newest hospital building\, the walking tour will head south to view numerous sites along a section of the historic “bedpan alley” neighborhood\, including the former Lying in Hospital (now the Rutherford Building)\, beautifully restored New Deal murals in Bellevue hospital\, a horse-drawn ambulance from the 1890s\, and the German Dispensary.  For the hardy\, an optional extension will continue to the West Village to see NYC’s oldest surviving medical building\, the Northern Dispensary.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Columbia and a PhD in history of science from Princeton. His 2009 book Picturing Medical Progress from Pasteur to Polio: A History of Mass Media Images and Popular Attitudes in America was honored by the American Library Association and the Popular Culture Association.
