JPN announcement, 1974

As the first female physician-in-chief at Children’s Hospital Boston, Avery maintained a keen interest in training young physicians and improving neonatal care. She established the Joint Program in Neonatology (JPN), a training, patient care, and research program which formed “one nursery in three locations:” Children’s Hospital, Beth Israel Hospital (now Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center), and the Boston Hospital for Women (now Brigham and Women’s Hospital).
