The data obtained from the diagnosis carried out in 2014 in Saint-Parize-le-Châtel, in Nièvre, compared with those obtained from the archives and information provided by local authorities, enabled us to retrace the history of this large American hospital (700 permanent buildings on 330 ha) built during the winter of 1918-1919. The spatial organization of the camp, which meets various criteria (patient/caregiver, male/female, officers/soldiers, living areas/care areas/technical areas), and equipment (radiology, disinfection, laboratories...) show that it was conceived as a place benefiting from pioneering advances in matters of health.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
