Every Necessary Care and Attention: George Washington and Medicine. George Washington's status and wealth gave him—and his community—access to a growing class of medical experts and new knowledge about the spread and prevention of disease, although there were limits to medical knowledge and cures.  Free.  703-385-8414.
