Description

At the eve of the American Revolution, Pennsylvania Hospital opened its doors as a provincial charity for the physically and mentally in poor health. In a matter of decades, it was not only The united states’s first “voluntary” hospital, but in addition the house of the primary apothecary, medical library and surgical amphitheatre. From its radical conception by a group of atypical colonists, the hospital has evolved into a world-renowned facility that treats over 225,000 patients a year. In A History of the Pennsylvania Hospital, Kristen Graham introduces the people and ideas that guided the Pennsylvania Hospital through a large number of wars and social and economic crises, landing it at the vanguard of healing, learning and innovation.
