项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This study extends the analysis of my book, Unlikely Entrepreneurs: Catholic Sisters and the Hospital Marketplace, 1865-1925, into the 20th century. The importance of the project lies in its historical approach to the vexed problem of the role that religion should (or should not) play in the American hospital marketplace. It will compare and contrast Catholic hospitals owned and operated by three religious congregations of women and one male order in the Northeast, Midwest, Southwest, and Far West. These include: the Sisters of Providence in the Pacific Northwest, a French-Canadian congregation; the Alexian Brothers in Chicago, who originated in Belgium and Germany as medieval lay mendicants; the Daughters of Charity in Texas, founded by the American-born Elizabeth Seton; and the Sisters of Mercy in the Eastern United States, who initially emigrated from Ireland. The aim is to complete a full-length book manuscript that will examine the problem of how Catholic hospitals were and are simultaneously religious and secular institutions. The book will consider the ways in which that paradox has manifested itself over the later 20th century. The project is especially significant since the Catholic Church is the nation's largest group of not-for-profit healthcare sponsors, systems, and facilities. Employing the framework of social and cultural history, this study examines the significant challenges Catholic hospitals encountered as marketplace values, modernization processes, shifts in religious consciousness, healthcare reform efforts, and federal regulation accelerated. How Catholic hospitals' historical dominance in the not-for-profit healthcare delivery system shaped the current healthcare system will also be a major focus. Through archival research and oral histories, the project will probe the diversity in hospital development according to region (place), race, ethnicity, and gender, while at the same time showing how Catholic hospitals developed a subculture that distinguished them from non-religious hospitals. It will provide a complex illustration of what it means for institutions to encounter drastic change and emerge with a new vision and community purpose.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项研究将我的书《不可能的企业家：天主教姐妹和医院市场》（1865-1925）扩展到20世纪。该项目的重要性在于其历史方法对宗教应（或不应）在美国医院市场发挥作用的角色的烦恼问题。它将比较和对比的天主教医院由三个宗教妇女和一个男性秩序拥有和经营的天主教医院在东北，中西部，西南和遥远的西部。其中包括：西北太平洋的普罗维登斯姐妹，法国加拿大的会众；芝加哥的亚历克西亚兄弟（Alexian Brothers）起源于比利时和德国，是中世纪的外行者。由美国出生的伊丽莎白·塞顿（Elizabeth Seton）创立的德克萨斯州慈善女儿；以及美国东部的怜悯姐妹，最初从爱尔兰移民。目的是完成一本完整的书籍手稿，该手稿将研究天主教医院的生活和同时是宗教和世俗机构的问题。该书将考虑悖论在20世纪后期表现出来的方式。该项目尤其重要，因为天主教是美国最大的非营利性医疗保健赞助商，系统和设施。这项研究采用了社会和文化历史的框架，研究了天主教医院遇到的重大挑战，因为市场价值观，现代化过程，宗教意识的转变，医疗改革努力以及联邦监管加速了。天主教医院在非营利性医疗保健提供系统中的历史统治如何塑造了当前的医疗保健系统也将是主要重点。通过档案研究和口述历史，该项目将根据地区（地点），种族，种族和性别来探讨医院发展的多样性，同时显示天主教医院如何开发一种与非宗教医院区分的亚文化。它将提供一个复杂的说明，说明机构遇到急剧变化并以新的愿景和社区目的出现的意义。
