March is Women’s History Month! There are lots of amazing women in Saranac Lake area history, such as Linda Cleland! Cleland was the Director of Nursing at the New York State Hospital for Incipient Tuberculosis, a.k.a Ray Brook Sanatorium. She began work at the Hospital in February of 1908, and served more than 37 years in this role!
