Description

This scholarly work examines how American healthcare systems adapted to meet rising demand for chronic care during the mid-twentieth century. First published in 1999, the book explores the period between 1945 and 1965 when Philadelphia and other communities grappled with unprecedented needs for long-term care services. The author documents how community leaders and politicians pursued various approaches to chronic care, yet struggled against insufficient financing and inadequate infrastructure inherited from earlier eras. Unlike acute care services, which received greater investment and development, chronic care remained largely underfunded and fragmented despite growing patient populations. This Routledge publication contributes to the Garland Studies on the Elderly in America series, offering historians, healthcare professionals, and social scientists valuable insights into how institutional responses shaped modern long-term care policy and practice in urban American settings.
