A History of the Fellowship Program

In collaboration with local historian William S. Worley, the Francis Family Foundation published a book about the history of the Parker B. Francis Fellowship program in 2006. The books contains, among other things, a look back at the origins of the Puritan Bennett Corporation, as well as highlighting numerous Fellows, whose pursuit of excellence in research has made the Fellowship program second only to the National Institute of Health in the funding of pulmonary research. All formers Mentors, Fellows and Scientific Council members were sent a copy of the book. A limited number of books remain. If you are interested in obtaining a copy, please contact Shari Hockenbery at shari@francisfoundation.org.
