The Jesup Memorial Library and author Judith Swazey invite you to attend the book launch of Judith’s new book Merger Game: The Medical College of Pennsylvania, Hahnemann University, and the Rise and Fall of the Allegheny Health Care System. Judith Swazey is an independent scholar and an Adjunct Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences at Boston University Schools of Medicine and Public Health who resides in Bar Harbor. “Merger Games is a definitive history of one of the most important academic medicine mergers in Philadelphia and the United States, which happened at a time when medical care was becoming commodified in almost every state. This book clearly delineates who the players were and what this merger means for the future of medical education and institutional healthcare.” Copies of the book will be available for sale and signing by the author. Refreshments will be served. For additional information contact the Jesup Memorial Library at 207-288-4345 or check out the library’s website at www.jesup.lib.me.us. (from maineevents.com)
