This one-day conference, organized by formerly incarcerated women, policy experts and community activists, will offer practical examples of public health alternatives.

This is a Museum of the City of New York event co-sponsored by NYAM Section on the History of Medicine and Public Health. Dr. Stanley B. Burns will speak about how postmortem photography shaped American culture in the 19th century.

From roughly 1600 to roughly 1900, many women (and a few men) in the English-speaking world compiled personal recipe collections in bound notebooks. These manuscript cookbooks contain a wealth of information absent from most printed cookbooks. Stephen Schmidt will discuss what we can learn from studying these manuscript recipe books and touch on the complicated relationship between these documents and printed cookbooks.  Examples of manuscript recipe books and related printed cookbooks from NYAM's rare book collection will be on display for attendees to see.

Dr. Stephen Ross will describe the process of integrating addiction education, screening, and treatment into the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department at Bellevue Hospital over the last 5 years.

Nowhere is the impact of New York State Medicaid reform more tumultuous than in long term care. While holding up a vision of a patient focused, community-based, managed care system that will improve care and reduce costs, that reform threatens the ability of current institutional and community-based service providers to care for the needs of many older and disabled New Yorkers.
