MorningsideHospital.com was initially the result of research by Ellen Ganley and Karen Perdue into the history of mental health care in Alaska. Once the focus became Morningside Hospital, the volunteer research team expanded in numbers and across the country. They are assisted by Information Insights’ web staff Jana Peirce and Emma Funk, and Nancy Lowe.
