History
100: Documenting the History of Health Care in
California
The development and history of public health
in California since World War II is documented largely
from the perspective of policy making and institutional
formation. Health provides an essential component to
understanding the economic development of the state,
as well as the cultural and political dynamics of demographic
change. Innovations in public health, most famously and
perhaps most notoriously the prepaid health plan, emerged
in California during and after World War II. California
models for health care delivery then spread to other
states and even to other parts of the world. More historical
work is needed in recovering understandings of health
and the experience of health care.
Students in this class conducted oral history interviews
over the course of the semester and wrote the following
papers:
"Issues in Epidemiology and the Korean Women's
Health Project" by Margaret Hwang
"The Role of the Nurse Practitioner: Past, Present,
and Future" by Emily Rouhas; based on oral history
interviews with nurse practitioners Dies and Mary
"An Interview with Norma Satten" by Priya Pandurangi;
based on oral history interviews with Norma Satten
"Negotiating Change: An Inside Look at Kaiser's Shift
in Labor Relations" based on oral history interviews
with Bill Sokol
"The Personality of Social Change" by Kathy Sear;
based on oral history interviews with Torm Nompraseurt
