Since its inception, Springfield Clinic has been a leader in delivering state-of-the-art health care to its patients --- and decades later --- the physicians and surgeons of Springfield Clinic continue to lead the way in medical technology and innovation. That spirit is reflected in the chronicles of Springfield Clinic's history.

Thanks to Donald R. Graham, MD, specialist in Infectious Diseases and nephew of Springfield Clinic's co-founder, Dr. James Graham, Springfield Clinic's first fifty years have been thoroughly and affectionately documented. Excerpts from Dr. Graham's work, Springfield Clinic: The First 50 Years have provided valuable insight into the character and culture of the organization that remains Springfield Clinic today.
