Lackawanna Hospital To Add Surgeon From Penn
Beginning next week the resident surgeon force at Lackawanna hospital will grow with the addition of Dr. Charles W. Wunder of the class of 1899 at the University of Pennsylvania. He will likely report early in the week as the hospital faced heavy workloads with two surgeons already on duty. Wunder leaves St Christopher's hospital in Philadelphia where he has been employed, a predecessor of Dr. Gengenbach who came to Lackawanna. Wunder was a prominent figure at Penn, noted for athletic involvement including varsity baseball and a role on the football team.
