Grab yourself a quarantini and join us for a VIRTUAL Historical Happy Hour!  

Are you suffering from Space Invaders wrist? Should you beware of Koop-Man?

During the early 1980s, as video games surged in popularity and stole the quarters (and hearts) of millions of Americans, healthcare professionals looked on with both excitement and anxiety.
