The conference aims to deal with the history of hospitals and health care institutions in a broader territorial and time scope. Did geography play a role in any differences that appear? The conference asks: How were hospitals structured? How did the layout of hospitals, places,
and spaces of health care look? Did they separate and segregate patients by illness, class, status, ethnicity, gender, age?
