Description
The American Hospital of Paris was founded in 1906 by a group of Americans who wanted to provide American-style medical care to the large numbers of Americans living in or visiting France. Today, the Hospital has grown to 185 beds and nearly 350 physicians, representing most medical specialties and treating thousands of patients each year from all over the world. With Corporation support, on the eve of the centennial of the end of the First World War, the Hospital intends to create a wider understanding of the historical significance of the hospital and its role in helping to shape a more favorable U.S. public opinion for the entering the war.
