Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
These records of the Board of Managers of the Wills Hospital consist
of three manuscript documents, all of which date from approximately
1833, when the hospital was first established. Included are
the "By Laws of the Board of Managers of the Wills Hospital",
"General rules and regulations for the management and supervision
of the Wills Hospital for the indigent lame and blind", and
a certificate announcing the election of new managers to the
Board. These documents provide insight into the organization
and management of the Wills Hospital during its early years.
The by laws of the Board of Managers designate the duties of officers, the order of business, and rules of order. The hospital rules and regulations outline the procedures to be followed in the admission of patients; this document also lists the duties and responsibilities of the Board of Managers, the physicians and surgeons of the hospital, the steward, and the treasurer. The final document (28 November 1833) is a letter from the Philadelphia Select and Common Councils to the Board of Managers of the Wills Hospitals; this letter lists the new members appointed to the Board of Managers.
