“Hospitals in early modern Europe were charitable institutions, designed to provide care and shelter to the sick poor.”
Peter Lewis Allen
“The typical hospital is information poor. It doesn't have accurate data on what it buys. In fact, hospitals lag behind most industries in managing procurement.”
John Walko
“With all the businesses of the world together we can link all of the poor countries, the schools, hospitals and health clinics of the poor countries and get them all on the Net. That helps enormously, for example, in sending information about AIDS.”
John Gage
“The poor had to deal with charity hospitals. If admitted to these institutions, they were housed and fed, but they also shared beds and germs with all the other diseased patients in their wards, and often received little medical help; if they were refused admission, they suffered and died in the streets.”
Peter Lewis
“These are hospitals with Jesus and the saints in their lobbies, and they are creating poor people.”
Scott Ferguson
“Hospitals across Illinois are providing $1.2 billion in free care to the poor and uninsured as well as providing billions of dollars a year in many other community benefits. These proposals would threaten the survival of many hospitals, which are barely hanging by a financial thread.”
Ken Robbins
“These people have no schools, no hospitals. They're very poor, it's time to do something.”
