@article{ETD, recid = {43768}, author = {Goff, Ruby}, title = {Small hospitals, with special attention to the hospitals in Washington County, Oregon}, publisher = {University of Oregon}, address = {1940}, number = {ETD}, abstract = {The small hospital plays a leading role in the health of the people of this nation. 75% of the hospitals in the United States have less than 100 beds. 51% have less than 40 beds. How are all these little units functioning? What are they contributing to the country? In the printed literature, the small hospital is completely overshadowed by the large city institution. An occasional short article is slipped in on the problems of a small hospital, as if they could be quickly and easily faced and solved. The small hospital is not a miniature of the large hospital it is a separate creation. Its problems are not those of a large institution and its relationships with the community are not those of a City Hospital. }, url = {http://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/43768}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/bpxhc43768}, }
