The Texas Baptist Memorial Sanatorium, the hospital that later became known as Baylor University Medical Center, dates back to 1904. With this long-lived history comes the truths that affected all hospitals during the Jim Crow era: segregation and inequality. This paper attempts to place Baylor University Medical Center, which aimed (and continues to aim) to be a "great humanitarian hospital," in its historical context. Understanding this history may help explain and combat the inequities we continue to see in health care today.
德克萨斯浸信会纪念疗养院,即后来为人所知的贝勒大学医学中心,其历史可追溯到1904年。伴随着这段悠久的历史而来的是在吉姆·克劳法时代影响所有医院的事实:种族隔离和不平等。本文试图将旨在(并仍在致力于)成为“伟大的人道主义医院”的贝勒大学医学中心置于其历史背景中。了解这段历史或许有助于解释和对抗我们如今在医疗保健领域仍可见到的不公平现象。
