About the work
In Sickness and in Wealth: American Hospitals in the Twentieth Century (ISBN 9780801860492) is a sweeping examination of how hospitals evolved from charitable institutions into modern centers of medical expertise and corporate enterprise, shaping public health, policy, and everyday patient experience across a century of dramatic change.
Summary
Rosemary Stevens traces the transformation of American hospitals from precarious, community-focused facilities to sophisticated systems driven by technology, finance, and professional hierarchies. The book interweaves social history, policy analysis, and case studies to reveal how shifts in funding, insurance, and regulation redirected power within hospitals, affected patient access and outcomes, and reshaped the relationships among physicians, administrators, and patients.
About the author
Rosemary Stevens was a renowned historian of health policy and hospital systems, whose scholarship bridged social science and medical practice to illuminate how institutions shape public health. Her rigorous, multidimensional approach combines archival research with a keen eye for organizational dynamics, making her one of the leading voices in American medical history.
In brief
The book reveals how hospitals' shifts in funding, governance, and care models redefined sickness, wealth, and access in modern America.
