Rochester Hist. 1956 Jul;18(3):1-28.
The untimely death of Dr. Albert D. Kaiser and the numerous tributes recognizing his ten years of unstinted service to the community have stirred a new interest in the history of public health in Rochester. Dr. Kaiser and his predecessors, notably Dr. George W. Goler (first as an assistant in 1892 and as Chief Health Officer from 1896 to 1932), developed an outstanding health department, one that has on these earnest men, and in many instances public lethargy or vested interests effectively blocked the way and left the city at the mercy of known and unknown maladies. Over the years Rochester was not unlike many growing towns in this and other respects, and the awakening of its residents to the need for community-wide precautions, as well as for scientific treatment, comprised an illuminating phase of its history, as the present vigorous programs continue to demonstrate.
阿尔伯特·D·凯泽博士的 untimely 离世以及众多对他为社区十年无私奉献的赞誉，引发了人们对罗切斯特公共卫生历史的新兴趣。凯泽博士及其前辈，尤其是乔治·W·戈勒博士（1892 年起任助理，1896 年至 1932 年任首席卫生官员），创建了一个杰出的卫生部门。然而，在推进这些工作时，这些热忱的人在很多情况下遭遇了公众的冷漠或既得利益的阻碍，致使这座城市任由已知和未知的疾病摆布。多年来，罗切斯特在这方面以及其他方面与许多发展中的城镇并无二致。如今充满活力的项目持续证明，其居民意识到需要采取社区范围的预防措施以及进行科学治疗，这构成了其历史上一个具有启发性的阶段。
