Appleyard will start by giving an overview of what healthcare looked like in the Pensacola community in 1914, a year before the original Sacred Heart Hospital was open.
He will discuss the healthcare challenges the community faced during the early years of the hospital, including the worldwide influenza pandemic of 1918 and World War II.
Appleyard will also cover the reasons why Sacred Heart Hospital moved from their original location on 12th Avenue to their existing location on 9th Avenue in 1965.
