One of the perhaps few but great historical works about Washington state hospitals was authored by John Bigelow, the first chief executive officer of the Washington State Hospital Association. WSHA published Washington Hospitals: A Century of Service 1858 -1958 in November 1957. Scholars can learn a fair amount about Mother Joseph's wonderful pioneering efforts to build hospitals and care for the ill in the territory. The curious can learn about hospitals that no longer exist. Readers of history will enjoy the stories related by John Bigelow.
