Healthcare reform in the United States is a significant, strongly
debated issue that has been argued since the early 1900s. Though
this issue has been in circulation for decades, by integrating
various new models and approaches, a more sustainable national
healthcare system can perhaps be realized. Evaluating Challenges
and Opportunities for Healthcare Reform presents comprehensive
coverage of the development of new models of healthcare systems
that seek to create sustainable and optimal healthcare by improving
quality and decreasing cost. While highlighting topics including
high-value care, patient interaction, and sustainable healthcare,
this book is ideally designed for government officials,
policymakers, lawmakers, scholars, physicians, healthcare leaders,
academicians, practitioners, and students and can be used to help
all interested stakeholders to make well-informed decisions related
to healthcare reform and policy development for the United States
and beyond, as well as to help all individuals and families in
their decisions related to choices of optimal healthcare plans.
This monograph explores the role that religion played in the
process of Americanizing immigrants to the United States. While
cities such as New York, Boston, and Philadelphia have been central
to immigration research, the city of Baltimore has been vastly
underrepresented. As the second largest immigrant port in the U.S.,
Baltimore is steeped in Catholic tradition, and is an ideal city
for a study on the role of the Catholic Church in Americanizing
immigrants. Through the use of oral histories, Church records, and
secondary texts, Baltimore is revealed as a haven for Catholic
immigrants due to the national parishes found throughout the city.
These parishes fostered Americanizing agencies founded by the
Catholic clergy which utilized the native cultures found within the
enclaves to create a gradual transition into mainstream society.
This process of Americanization was deliberate and through the
development of the national parishes, newcomers to America
experienced the phases of immigrant, ethnic, and American. The
preponderance of the evidence suggests that such a gradual method
of Americanization would be equally effective today for Catholic
immigrants in the United States.
