PHILADELPHIA'S CIVIL WAR MILITARY HOSPITALS: THEN AND NOW

In the beginning of the Civil War, Philadelphia had already become the leading center of medical education and practice in the country. It would also become the largest and most influential military hospital departments in the Union.
This program will discuss many of the two dozen military hospitals that treated over 157,000 soldiers from 1861 - 1865.
Some hospitals were known for their specialties, some known for other reasons. This presentation examines the locations and also the organization and transportation systems that provided support to the military hospitals.
