He was a Vietnam Veteran and proudly served his country from 1966-1968.

Dr. Boskind was an active staff member for over 30 years at Tennessee Christian Medical Center, Skyline Medical Center, and was an original member on the staff of Hendersonville Medical Center.  At various times he served as Chief of Staff and/or Chief of Surgery at several of these hospitals. He retired in 2007 after 35 years of practicing General Surgery.

He was an active member of Madison Campus Seventh-day Adventist Church since 1974.  He taught a Sabbath School Class for over 30 years.  He had a heart for missions and his class established a fund to serve others in the Amazon, Egypt, Guatemala, Philippines, Russia, and Solomon Islands. He traveled with a group from the Nashville area to Nigeria to do surgery. He also started a Neighborhood Fund which was to help widows or the elderly who needed simple home repairs, wheelchair ramps, etc., but could not afford them.

After retirement he helped establish Madison Christian Medical Clinic to serve the working uninsured community.  It was staffed by volunteer physicians and nurses until its closure in 2015.

Special thanks to caregiver Janice Avery who took such great care of him for nearly 4 years.
