Mount Zion Hospital and Medical Center records, 1887-1994, bulk 1960s-1980s.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/85188840

Contains minutes, by-laws, correspondence, departmental records, reports, financial records, publications, photographs, slides, audio tapes, microfilm, books and memorabilia (including medical instruments and personal and commemorative items) covering Mount Zion Hospital and successor institutions from its formation in 1887 to its merger with the University of California San Francisco in 1992. Except for a few ledgers from the 1910s and 1920s (and a radiology ledger from the 1940s), the collection does not contain patient records. Except for minutes and annual reports, which are close to complete, the majority of the materials consist of scattered files from a variety of departments, organizations, and offices. Besides minutes, by-laws, and annual reports, other series or subseries with earlier material include: financial records (scattered); building and planning (Hellman building 1908-1917, and 1940s); Auxiliary (minutes from 1930-1990; some 1950s); Medical staff (some 1950s); Departments (patient ledgers, 1914-1925, 1930s and 1950s); Nursing School (1907-1962); public affairs (some clippings, 1932-1959); publications and pamphlets (some 1950s); and Archives Committee and objects (scattered items). Besides documenting the development and demise of a Jewish organization, the collection also provides insight into changes in hospital administration, fundraising and philanthropic practices, the development of psychiatry and other medical fields, and other social and historical topics. Of special interest are the few patient ledgers; materials pertaining to the merger with UCSF; documents showing the evolution of medical care and hospital organization (including the emergence of HMO's, labor disputes, and malpractice); and meditations on the meaning of the specifically Jewish nature of Mount Zion. Also includes oral histories with members of the Mount Zion community (including Mortimer and Janet Choynski Fleishaker; Elise Stern Haas; Walter A. Haas, Sr.; Sylvia Lehmann Stone; and Eve Naftali), publicity and other photographs, and extensive clipping files.
