Rose Melnick Medical Museum
Presented by: Cassandra Nespor
Cassandra will be telling us about the Museum and sharing information about some antique medical instruments and treatments.
The Rose Melnick Medical Museum was founded in 1985 by Youngstown radiologist Dr. John C. Melnick. It was Dr. Melnick’s dream to create a museum that would cultivate an interest in medicine and promote medical history among the students, physicians, and public of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley. With the grand opening of the Museum on October 15, 2001, his dream became a reality.
The Museum is named in honor of Dr. Melnick’s mother, Rose Melnick, who inspired him to pursue a life in medicine. It is in Melnick Hall on the Youngstown State University campus, a facility that was dedicated on June 8, 2000. The Museum houses thousands of medical artifacts consisting of instruments, equipment, and research materials documenting the history of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and nursing with a local focus.
The Museum displays permanent and changing exhibits on the history of medicine, offers lectures on various medical topics, and serves as a research facility and gathering place for the medical community and the public.

We have reconfigured the lower level a the Cortland Opera House to provide space for research and records storage. This project has created 2 new meeting areas for smaller groups. One will accommodate groups up to 24 participants and the other one is a conference area for 7 to 12 participants. We have not yet determined pricing for these areas, but contact us if you are interested.

We are having a changing of the guard here at The Cortland Opera House. After six years of managing the rentals I am turning over the reigns to Maribeth Albu.

I have enjoyed meeting so many wonderful people these last six years, and I've especially enjoyed our return renters. Thank you all for making my job easy!

If you need to rent the hall in the future, please call or text Maribeth at 330-219-1488

Merry Christmas everyone!
