Museum Artifacts Tell a Story
March 28, 2011
In the immediate aftermath of the bombing, many of the injured were taken to St. Anthony Hospital, located several blocks from the Murrah Building. Surgical nurse Kate Cavnar, who worked at Oklahoma Surgicare, was among those responding. Serving on the team for the emergency surgery of survivor Roya Simms, who was critically injured in the Journal Record Building, Ms. Cavnar worked in surgery at St. Anthony on April 19, 1995, from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Ms. Cavnar donated the burgundy set of hospital scrubs she wore that day to the Memorial & Museum Archives/Special Collections, where they will be preserved. “We are grateful to Ms. Cavnar for providing the scrubs and sharing her story to help us document the response of the medical community following the bombing,” said Collections Manager Helen Stiefmiller.
The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum is the official repository for all artifacts and documents related to the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building and its aftermath. Using these artifacts, documents, photos and personal stories, the Museum tells the remarkable story of what happened, how people responded, and what we learned.
