After almost 250 years, one of the nation's first, and most illustrious, hospitals closed. Its demise was a particularly dramatic but representative symptom of a more general decay in the quality of public medicine in America's older cities. The gradual differentiation of municipal welfare mechanisms from almshouse to hospital is traced; it has been an elusive and incomplete evolution.
在历经近250年后，该国最早且最负盛名的医院之一关闭了。其衰落是美国老城市公共医疗质量普遍下降这一更为普遍现象中一个特别引人注目的但具有代表性的症状。市政福利机制从救济院到医院的逐渐分化过程得到了追溯；这是一个难以捉摸且并不完整的演变。
