In American Catholic Hospitals, Barbra Mann Wall chronicles changes
in Catholic hospitals during the twentieth century, many of which
are emblematic of trends in the American healthcare system. Wall
explores the Church's struggle to safeguard its religious values.
As hospital leaders reacted to increased political, economic, and
societal secularization, they extended their religious principles
in the areas of universal health care and adherence to the Ethical
and Religious Values in Catholic Hospitals, leading to tensions
between the Church, government, and society. The book also examines
the power of women--as administrators, Catholic sisters wielded
significant authority--as well as the gender disparity in these
institutions which came to be run, for the most part, by men. Wall
also situates these critical transformations within the context of
the changing Church policy during the 1960s. She undertakes
unprecedented analyses of the gendered politics of post-Second
Vatican Council Catholic hospitals, as well as the effect of social
movements on the practice of medicine.
