The first physician to open a pediatric practice at GBMC, John Boscia, MD, served the community’s children for more than 20 years: treating extended families, children of parents he had also treated in their youth, and some folks well into their 20s, because they just didn’t want to go anywhere else. John dedicated his career to caring and advocating for some of the most medically-challenged patients in our area. He did it because of his sense of fairness. Dr. Boscia had also experienced some physical challenges in his youth and had a special place in his heart for these patients.
