It was a 164-page hardback book with over 300 photographs. We are very pleased with the final product. Jenkins Group did a great job, and we would recommend you without hesitation. Leah and Yvonne were easy to work with and incredibly helpful. Throughout the design phase, Yvonne was timely, responsive and executed our vision perfectly. Doing a book is much harder than we thought. There were times on our end when it became all consuming, but Leah and the team kept us focused and answered all our questions. We knew the look we wanted for the pages in the book, and the very first layout sample we received nailed it perfectly. It is an understatement to say that Josh and I are finicky about what we want, and you never flinched. Thanks for a great job. Alan Bomstein, Founder Creative Contractors Ken ChapmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Over the 42 years we've been in business I have worked with several publishers, They have all been helpful to one degree or another. However, our experience with the Jenkins Group has been head and shoulders above all the rest. Every member of the staff is courteous, professional and responsive. I only wish I had known about The Jenkins Group years ago. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking assistance with publishing a book. I am confident you will have the same excellent expereince we have had. Ken Chapman Founder & CEO Ken Chapman & Associates, Inc. Jenna McCarthyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough glowing things about the Jenkins Group. I've written 20+ books, some I've published on my own, some with traditional "big" publishers, and I wouldn't dream of doing it either way without consulting the Jenkins Group first. They are responsive, experienced, know the industry inside and out, are an absolute joy to work with, and can and will handle EVERY aspect of publishing and production. Additionally, I've worked with them for close to two decades--yes, I'm old--and the staff never changes. That's a rarity these days, and speaks to their integrity and consistency. Highly recommend in every way. Sonja BritlandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with Jenkins Group. Never having worked on a commemorative book, they guided me every step of the way. They truly listen and try to match you with a ghostwriter who is familiar with your industry or has experience with writing to your ideas. I really liked having one point of contact throughout the entire process. We would discuss our ideas and they offer incite based on their knowledge of what others have done for similar projects. Additionally, their design team is extremely talented and easy to work with. I was blown away by the final product despite seeing it electronically, nothing prepared me for how amazing the book was in print. I highly recommend Jenkins Group! Roy SmootTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone at the Jenkins Group, truly everyone, invested their hearts, expertise and passion in designing, producing and guiding our journey to publish "It All Belongs: Love, Loss and Learning to Live Again". Receiving a Kirkus Reviews "Get It" commendation and a personal letter from Pres. Biden are certainly validations of not only our promise to my late wife to publish her words and art with my journaling, but also of their amazing commitment to fulfilling our promise to her. Trust them with your project, and you'll be thrilled. Ellen BraunsteinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Although I didn't need their editorial services, the printing process was made flawless by Leah and Jim. I truly had no experience in printing a large book and I feel grateful that I didn't have to deal with the printer directly. My client loved his memoir, all 3 pounds of it. Would highly recommend Jenkins Group for any aspect of creating a book.

Frequently Asked Questions
What archival materials are required for a medical organization history book?
Every organization has a story worth preserving, and the materials that tell it are often already close at hand. We help uncover and organize the photos, newsletters, board records, annual reports, marketing materials, historical documents, and other pieces that bring your history to life.
Along the way, we often discover meaningful details that deserve a place in the story—historic facilities, early equipment, milestone moments, and the people who helped shape your organization. Together, these materials become more than an archive; they become the foundation for a beautifully crafted medical organization history book that reflects your mission, growth, and impact.
How do we balance patient privacy with a public commemorative volume?
Protecting patient privacy and honoring ethical standards are central to every healthcare project we undertake. Rather than focusing on personal records, medical organization history books typically celebrate institutional milestones, advances in care, community impact, and the people who helped build your legacy.
When appropriate, we work alongside your legal or compliance teams to ensure all content aligns with privacy requirements and industry regulations, allowing you to confidently share a medical commemorative book with employees, donors, patients, and the communities you serve.
Is it possible to include technical history in a medical organization's legacy book?
Certainly. We have experience turning complex clinical details into accessible stories for stakeholders and the general public.
By using infographic-style pullouts and high-quality photography, we can help create a design that feels digestible and impactful. This format keeps dense scientific accomplishments comprehensible while honoring the seriousness of your medical mission and the care that you provide every day.
Can a healthcare legacy book help with fundraising or capital campaigns?
A healthcare organization history book can become much more than a historical record. Many organizations use their books as donor gifts, campaign materials, anniversary keepsakes, board gifts, and community outreach tools.
By showcasing decades of service, innovation, and community impact, a thoughtfully produced commemorative book helps reinforce your mission and demonstrate the lasting difference your organization has made. It creates an emotional connection between your history and the vision you’re building for the future.
How is a hospital history book structured to show the transition from clinic to medical center?
Every organization’s story unfolds differently, which is why no two books are crafted exactly alike.
Some medical institution history books follow a chronological timeline, while others are organized around major milestones, leadership eras, service expansions, or defining moments in patient care. Most often, we blend these approaches to create a narrative that feels authentic and engaging while highlighting the people, decisions, and innovations that shaped your growth from a small clinic into a leading medical institution.
How does a medical anniversary book capture the contributions of staff and our leaders’ impact?
The people behind the mission are often the heart of the story.
Through interviews, personal reflections, historical photographs, and staff spotlights, you can preserve the experiences and values that shaped your culture over the years. You can also integrate a physician legacy book framework, making your hospital commemorative book stand as a genuine tribute to the people who built your foundation and devoted their professional lives to your decades-long growth.
What’s the process for creating a medical organization history book?
As a full-service publishing agency, you will work closely with a dedicated team from concept to finished book.
This means that you can stay focused on daily patient operations while we refine your history into a professional publication.
Whether you have decades of organized archives or are just beginning to gather materials, we can help transform your organization’s history into a healthcare organization heritage book that preserves your legacy and can be shared for generations.
