How is it that after living inWestfield for 11 years, I have never heard anyone mention a single word about Dr. Virginia Apgar? Born and raised in Westfield, Dr.Apgar is responsible for saving the lives of countless babies all over the world, yet goes without proper recognition in her hometown. What earns her this recognition is her worldrenowned Apgar score, a convenient test used to quantify the health of newborn children.
