The Baltimore Infirmary, shown in this engraving, was the first hospital built for  use by a medical school in the United States. The foundation was laid on the  southwest corner of Lombard and Greene Streets \u2013 the current location of the  HSHSL \u2013 in June 1823; the 60-bed Infirmary was ready for patients by September  1823. Perhaps it is only fitting that the library sitting on the site of the  first hospital building is now the home of unique historical documents that  bring to light the importance of clinical experience in medical education. The  following highlights a selection of hospital related items in the HSHSL.<\/p>\n    <span id=\"dots2\"><p><strong>&#8230;<\/strong><\/p><\/span><span id=\"more2\">\n\t<p>By the 1860s, the Baltimore Infirmary had grown to become  the biggest hospital in Baltimore and was known as &ldquo;University Hospital,&rdquo;  though its name wasn&rsquo;t officially changed until the 1870s. The University  Hospital was integrated into the education of the students in the School of  Medicine. The <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/medicine37unse\/page\/n85\/mode\/2up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1844-1845<\/a> Academic Catalog outlines the number and type of operations occurring in the  hospital for the prior year. For a better understanding of the early costs  associated with a hospital stay, Historical Collections holds an October 27,  1871 receipt for &ldquo;board &amp; attendance for one week @ 15$ per week&rdquo; for a  Capt. Summers G. Lady. <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume17_Number04\/11-02-b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume17_Number04\/11-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"255\" height=\"169\" border=\"0\" class=\"right\" style=\"margin-top: 20px;\"><\/a> This is the equivalent  of receiving a bill for $375.85 today. In 1887, a small group of women formed  what would become the <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/handle\/10713\/18148\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Women&rsquo;s Auxiliary  of the University of Maryland Hospital<\/a>. The first of its kind in Maryland \u2013  and perhaps in the country \u2013 this group aimed to raise funds to support the  hospital as well as visit the sick and attend to the social needs of the  patients. The records of this group have been digitized in the Digital Archive.<\/p>\n    <p>During the world wars, nurses and physicians from the  University Hospital as well as pharmacists and dentists from the University of  Maryland, served together in base and military hospitals. In June 1917, Base  Hospital Number 42 was formed by University Hospital faculty, most notably Dr.  Archibald C. Harrison. The Hospital was stationed in Bazoilles-sur-Meuse,  France, and operated until 1919. Historical Collections houses a few  photographs, like the one shown here, of the base from Dr. John Carey Taylor, who  served as a corporal at Base Hospital No. 42. <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume17_Number04\/11-03-b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume17_Number04\/11-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"236\" height=\"180\" border=\"0\" class=\"right\" style=\"margin-top: 20px;\"><\/a><\/p>\n    <p>During World War II, the 42nd Medical Hospital was  reactivated by the Office of the Surgeon General. At first, the 42nd Medical  Hospital was slated to be a single 1000-bed hospital, but within weeks of its  deployment, the hospital was reallocated to two 500-bed hospitals: the 42nd  and 142nd General Hospitals. The 42nd General Hospital trained in  Fort Custer, Michigan until May 1942, when they headed to Melbourne, Australia,  finally arriving in Stuartholme, overlooking Brisbane in July 1942. When peace  was signed in 1945, the 42nd had just arrived in Yokohama and  treated 550 prisoners of war. The 42nd treated over 50,000 patients  and disbanded November 11, 1945. The HSHSL&rsquo;s Digital Archive includes a  published volume on the history of the <a href=\"http:\/\/hdl.handle.net\/10713\/1694\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">42nd General Hospital<\/a>.<\/p>\n    <p>The 142nd General Hospital first trained at Fort  Riley, Kansas in April 1942 and headed to New Zealand in May 1942. In 1943, the  142nd moved to Fiji before moving to Calcutta, India, in 1944. When  it was deactivated in February 1946, the unit had handled nearly 18,000  casualties. Recently, a scrapbook celebrating the accomplishments of University  Hospital staff was found in Historical Collections. The <a href=\"http:\/\/hdl.handle.net\/10713\/20759\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scrapbook <\/a>has been digitized and  is available in our Digital Archive. The scrapbook contents \u2013 dated April 16,  1942 to April 1, 1946 \u2013 include newspaper clippings, photographs, pamphlets,  and correspondence from the doctors, nurses, dentists, and pharmacists who  served in the two General Hospitals in World War II.\u00a0 <\/p>\n    <p>Between the world wars, a new University Hospital building  was constructed directly across the street from the old building. The new  building&rsquo;s 1934 opening followed years of fundraising. Historical Collections  holds two patient pamphlets from University Hospital that have recently been  digitized and uploaded to the Digital Archive. One, dated <a href=\"http:\/\/hdl.handle.net\/10713\/20339\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1955<\/a>, includes information about  entering the hospital, caregivers, billing information and charges, and  discharge from the hospital. The other pamphlet, though <a href=\"http:\/\/hdl.handle.net\/10713\/20338\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">undated<\/a>, is signed by the hospital  director, G. Bruce McFadden, who was active in the 1970s and 1980s. The  information it contains is similar to that of the first pamphlet, but with the  addition of maps, patient rights and responsibilities, and telephone  directories.<\/p>\n    <p>Beginning in 1977, talks began to separate the  Hospital from the UMSOM. The hospital, which was expensive to operate and  maintain, was starting to become rundown. In 1984, the state passed legislation  separating the University and Hospital. The result was UMMC, a private,  nonprofit hospital. Today the UMMC and UMSOM are still closely connected, with  students from the UMSOM receiving clinical experience in the UMMC.<\/p>\n\t<\/span>\n\t  \n\t<button onclick=\"myFunction2()\" id=\"myBtn2\" style=\"padding:8px;\">Continue Reading<\/button><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n    <script language=\"javascript\">\n      function myFunction2() {\n      var dots = document.getElementById(\"dots2\");\n      var moreText = document.getElementById(\"more2\");\n      var btnText = document.getElementById(\"myBtn2\");\n\n      if (dots.style.display === \"none\") {\n        dots.style.display = \"inline\";\n        btnText.innerHTML = \"Continue Reading\";\n        moreText.style.display = \"none\";\n      } else {\n        dots.style.display = \"none\";\n        btnText.innerHTML = \"Collapse\";\n        moreText.style.display = \"inline\";\n      }\n    }<\/script>\n\t  \n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-title\">\n  <h3><a id=\"12\" name=\"12\">New Staff<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\">\n  <div class=\"article-text\">\n    <p><strong>Kesha  Blackmon<\/strong>&nbsp;joined the  Resource Sharing (RS) department of the HSHSL as an interlibrary loan  specialist in July.&nbsp;She is involved in all RS operations including ILL  borrowing\/lending, document delivery and  digitization.
