‘The Castaways of Life’: A study of organizational remembering within the context of a Chilean Geriatric HospitalFootnote

† The expression ‘For the Castaways of Life’ appears in a plaque under a statue that is located in the gardens of the National Geriatric Institute (NGI). This statue is one of the few objects that has been preserved from the time when the NGI was a hospice.
