- Description:
- The article presents an examination of Sanborn Hall, a private hospital that operated in Franklin, New Hampshire in the early 20th century run by physicians James Brown Woodman and John Walter Staples. It examines the history of private hospitals in the United States and explores the growth of private hospitals in the post-Civil War era. It discusses how small towns, such as Franklin, were often overlooked when community hospitals were established and as a result physicians would occasionally open small facilities to serve these communities.
