History of Women's Health Conference, Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia
|
|
The Pennsylvania Hospital will host a special one-day conference on Wednesday, April 5, 2006 to discuss "Women’s Health: From Franklin’s Era to the Present." Franklin’s interest in health related topics during his lifetime led him to co-found the Pennsylvania Hospital with Dr. Thomas Bond, which remains a leading health care provider. The Pennsylvania Hospital will bring together historical scholars and medical practitioners to discuss topics such as: immigrant and minority health care; breast cancer; social control of women’s bodies; changes in obstetrics; pain management and the use of anesthesia; changing perceptions of breast feeding; and mental health care.
The program will begin with Grand Rounds keynote speaker Dr. Timothy Johnson (University of Michigan) at 7:30 a.m. Conference sessions will begin at 9 a.m. and run through 4pm. This conference is free and open to all. To register, please contact Stacey Peeples at 215-829-5434 or peepless@pahosp.com.
