INTRODUCTION The history of any hospital is very largely the history of the men and women who led it, and Jefferson Hospital is no exception. In this book are contained brief but accurate as known records can be obtained by using the statistical method of times series. You will find the running period IO years each. I 1908-1958 Due to the fabulous number of life years lived in the 50 years of one institution-it would be boring-unprofitable and impossible to tell you of everyone. In a word this work is given to you from extreme study-intensive interest-and some knowledge of hospitals-doctors, nurse, patient, and anxious family experience. I Mrs. A. M. Groseclose, an RN., a doctor's wife-a mother-and lover of the individual, consented to do the writing for us, she took the time to do the major research-has kept enthusiastic throughout the six months, while we became discouraged, disgusted-disappointed and wondered why we had ever dreamed of such a task. . It is with pleasure we commend this book to each of you. Hoping to every doctor nurse orderly friend patient-to every team that has worked to make the hospital what it is, although your name is not written in print, you will know it meant you. For every memory loosened in your subconscious to be thankful you are a part and perhaps express yourself, so more can be written fuller later. These men and women represent human beings of flesh and blood who achieved greatly because they were industrious-courageous-dedicated and visionary-at the right place to fit into this plan, not because they had any magic secret of success.
