Nearly 75 years ago, a time capsule was placed behind a cornerstone in what is currently the oldest building on The Miriam Hospital campus. We recently unveiled the time capsule with the help of Jeffrey Brier, grandson of Benjamin Brier, the third president of The Miriam Hospital Board of Trustees who buried the time capsule in 1951. The time capsule contains many artifacts, including newspapers that told the story of The Miriam Hospital’s history.

As we celebrate the 100th anniversary of The Miriam Hospital’s founding, we invite you to be a part of the festivities by sharing your stories of a memorable event at the hospital. Whether it’s the care that you or a family member received, or a friendship or relationship that was founded while visiting or working at The Miriam, we invite you to visit brownhealth.org/mystory
