On Thursday March 14, 2013 a program entitled "The History of the San" was presented at Saint Francis University in Loretto, Pa.  The program explored the history of the Cresson TB Sanatorium and its impact on the lives of the people in the community and the patients at the facility.  The presentation was led by SFU student Michael Vaughn, who took up the challenge of helping to preserve the San's history as part of his senior capstone project. 

The event featured a viewing of the half hour documentary TV program "Cresson: Life at the San" produced by PBS Station WQED in Pittsburgh in 2011.  Also featured was speaker Harvey Docchio of New Brighton, Pa.  Harvey and his three brothers were all at the san in preventorium care during 1941 to 1945.
