The Past as Prologue
The Past as Prologue...from the New Jersey Hospital Association's archives
...Moments in time; snapshots of local, New Jersey and national events through the decades…
As we approach the 21st century, it's helpful to look to the past, to know not only the traditions on which we build, but to measure how far we have progressed and to be reminded of what healthcare missions remain unaltered by time.
The NJHA Library offers selected excerpts from the Association's archives to provide a unique peek into the historical, economic, legislative, medical, social and philosophical perspectives and events that shape our healthcare delivery system. Some selections are inspiring, others humorous or poignant, yet all offer us a fascinating journey…
…All aboard the time machine!
