Entitled “Dr. Vincent Gardner, Medicine & Mission: Years with the Navajo Nation”, the exhibit is scheduled to run from 12 – 5 p.m. at the Wong Kerlee International Conference Center located on the Loma Linda University campus. This exhibit represents a insight into the daily life of a committed physician that dedicated his ministry of healing to the most needy and poor.
