- Description
- Description of the role of Catholic women in establishing the hospitals at the core of New York City’s Catholic medical network. Beginning with the opening of St. Vincent’s Hospital in 1849, McCauley relates how women of faith worked over the next eighty years to place the Catholic Church in the mainstream of American medicine. Exploring the differences and similarities between Catholic hospitals and other hospitals, McCauley describes the particular cultural sensibility and management style that informed Catholic health care.
