Nicole Shiffrar has used records, newspapers, memoirs, personal stories and additional sources to create a detailed history of health care in Lead and Deadwood in both Monument Health Lead-Deadwood Hospital and Clinic. From famous patients and historical caregivers to significant events such as the 1918 Spanish Influenza pandemic, the Deadwood Fire of 1959 and the Grizzly Gulch Fire of 2002 — there is no better way to learn about the storied past of the town’s medical care and the history of the hospital now known as Monument Health Lead-Deadwood Hospital.
