Excerpt from The Public Health Committee of the New York Academy of Medicine: A Survey of Its Activities During Five Years of Work, 1911-1916
The Code of Medical Ethics, adopted in 1847 by the American Medical Association, recognizes physicians as conservators of pub lic health and declares that it is a delicate and noble task, by the judicious application of Public Hygiene to prevent disease and lengthen life, and thus to increase the productive industry, and without assuming the office of moral and religious teaching, to aid the civilization of an entire people.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an authoritative compilation of studies and reports investigating public health and hospital conditions in New York City between 1911-1915 by the Public Health Committee of the New York Academy of Medicine. Presented chronologically by the year they were undertaken, the studies reflect the evolution of public health concerns and priorities; encompassing an array of subjects including contagious disease hospitals, childcare, vital statistics, health publicity, and public health budgets. The author was instrumental in shaping the direction of public health initiatives in the city: advocating for the establishment of new contagious disease hospitals, the improvement and regulation of existing ones, and the implementation of health publicity campaigns to inform the public about important public health issues. Ultimately, these studies helped form the foundation of the public health movement, contributing to the understanding of the integral role of public health in urban centers across the nation.
