Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The collection contains the official records and proceedings of
the Board of Managers of Fife Hamill Memorial Health Center
for Southeast Philadelphia, 1947-1960. Minutes and reports
of Fife Hamill's Women's Committee, 1948-1960, and a 16mm motion
picture, circa 1956, showing the services available at the Center,
are also included.
Series 1 contains the minute books and related records of the Board of Managers. In addition to the minutes, the series also contains a few items of secretarial correspondence, minutes of the Executive, Finance, Medical, and Nursing Committee, and monthly financial reports and statistical reports on the use of the Center. Records before 1951 are organized by type; from 1951 to 1960, the records are divided by session with relevant reports and committee minutes attached to each meeting of the Board of Managers. Notable items in Series 1 include a 1951 edition of the Center's by laws; a request for municipal support, 1951, and a functional analysis, 1953, both containing background information on the Center; and the "Social Audit", a 1957 evaluation of the progress and problems of Fife Hamill. Since Fife Hamill conducted all operations of Babies' Hospital from 1948 to 1960, minutes of each annual meeting of the Board of Managers and the Corporation of Babies' Hospital of Philadelphia and a copy of the joint plan of merger with St. Christopher's Hospital for Children are also part of this series.
The minute books of the Women's Committee, 1948-1960, along with occasional correspondence and reports, are in Series 2.
