  • Title: From almshouse to hospital: the shaping of Philadelphia General Hospital.
    Author: Rosenberg CE.
    Journal: Milbank Mem Fund Q Health Soc; 1982; 60(1):108-54. PubMed ID: 7038533.
    Abstract:
    After almost 250 years, one of the nation's first, and most illustrious, hospitals closed. Its demise was a particularly dramatic but representative symptom of a more general decay in the quality of public medicine in America's older cities. The gradual differentiation of municipal welfare mechanisms from almshouse to hospital is traced; it has been an elusive and incomplete evolution.
