Description

"This book explores for the first time the dramatic social, technological, and architectural transformation of hospitals during the final decades of the twentieth century. Stephen Verderber and David J. Fine critically examine how and why acute-care hospitals and the often-related psychiatric facilities, retirement communities, and community clinics have changed, for better or for worse."--BOOK JACKET.
