Making Medicare
The Canadian health care system is so indisputably tied to our national identity that its founder, Tommy Douglas, was voted the greatest Canadian of all time in a CBC television contest. However, very little has been written to date on how Medicare as we know it was developed and implemented. This collection fills a serious gap in the existing literature by providing a comprehensive policy history of Medicare in Canada. Making Medicare features explorations of the experiments that predated the federal government’s decision to implement the Saskatchewan health care model, from Newfoundland’s cottage hospital system to Bennettcare in British Columbia. It also includes essays by key individuals (including health practitioners and two premiers) who played a role in the implementation of Medicare and the landmark Royal Commission on Health Services. Along with political scientists, policy specialists, medical historians, and health practitioners, this collection will appeal to anyone interested in the history and legacy of one of Canada’s most visible and centrally important institutions.
Quand devient-on vieille ?
Vieillissement démographique, féminisation de la vieillesse et allongement de la retraite soulèvent maints débats, maintes inquiétudes, mais sont rarement situés dans une perspective historique. C’est donc d’histoire de la vieillesse, des femmes et du travail que traite cet ouvrage à partir de quelques questions apparemment simples. Quand devient-on « vieille » ou simplement un peu « âgée » dans le Québec de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle ? Selon quels critères ? Comment le modèle de la retraite s’étend-il aux femmes étant donné la complexité de leurs rapports avec le marché du travail ? Le monde des hôpitaux de 1940 à 1980 – l’Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal e...
La croix et le scalpel
Le premier tome de cette histoire a paru en 1989 pour souligner le 350e anniversaire de l'arrivée des Augustins à Québec et de l'ouverture de leur hôpital, Hôtel-Dieu. Il a retracé l'histoire de ses femmes et de leur établissement de soins depuis leur modeste début, dans une colonie encore peu peuplée, jusqu'à la fin du XIXe siècle. À l'hôpital des corps et des âmes (1639-1825) a succédé une institution en transition où les progrès de la médicalisation et l'insertion dans le processus de formation des médecins annoncent l'hôpital moderne (1825-1892). Le second tome reprend le récit en 1892. Les Augustins viennent tout juste d'agrandir leur établissement en tenant compt...

On All Frontiers
Nursing has a long and varied history in Canada. Since the founding of the first hospital by the Augustine nuns in 1637, nurses have contributed greatly to Canadians' quality of life. On All Frontiers is a comprehensive history of Canadian nursing. Editors Christina Bates, Dianne Dodd, and Nicole Rousseau have brought together a vast body of research into one volume. Authored by leading experts, the chapters and vignettes form an overview of the history of Canadian nursing to date. From the midwives of early Canada to urban public health nurses, from remote outposts to the battlefields of Europe, On All Frontiers documents the hardships, challenges, and achievements of Canadian nurses. Richly illustrated with archival photographs, it will prove essential to scholars of Canadian health care history.
