In the late 19th century, when tuberculosis was the deadliest disease in America, a gravely ill physician arrived in the Adirondacks seeking relief — and helped change medical history.
This episode of the ADK Talks podcast features Amy Catania, Executive Director of Historic Saranac Lake, discussing Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau and the founding of the Saranac Laboratory, the first U.S. lab devoted exclusively to tuberculosis research.
Catania explores how a small mountain village became a global center for healing, innovation, and hope—and why that legacy still matters today.
