4000 Attending Charity Chicago Cook Hospitals Nurses Patients Physicians Staffed Treating
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene at Cook County Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, in the year 1916. At the time, Cook County Hospital was one of the largest and most prominent charity hospitals in the United States. With 64 house physicians and 68 attending physicians on staff, and a nursing force of 400, the hospital was able to provide comprehensive medical care to over 4,000 indigent patients each year. The image showcases the dedication and hard work of the medical professionals as they attend to their patients with compassion and expertise. The hospital's grand architecture, with its ornate columns and high ceilings, serves as a testament to the importance placed on healthcare during this era. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the daily life of a hospital during this time period, with patients being treated in their beds and medical staff moving about the ward, carrying out their duties. Cook County Hospital was a vital resource for the community, providing essential medical services to those who could not afford to pay for care elsewhere. The hospital's commitment to charitable work and its impressive staffing levels made it a beacon of hope and healing for thousands of people in need. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the critical role that hospitals and healthcare professionals play in our communities, particularly for those who are most vulnerable.
