Welcome to Texas: Hand collection at Baylor Medical Center

Behind the glass cases in the lobby of the George W. Truett Memorial Hospital at the Baylor University Medical Center complex are hundreds of hands– or more accurately– the bronze casts of hands belonging to some of the most popular and influential people in the world. It’s the Hand Collection, and they’re all the work of retired hand surgeon and one-time chief of orthopedic surgery at Baylor, Dr. Adrian Flatt.
