Creator:
Duke University. Medical Center.

Documents several long-range planning initiatives during the period 1952 to 1998, mainly in the form of reports by the such noted consulting firms as James A. Hamilton Associates, Hospital Consultants (1952); Booz, Allen & Hamilton, Management Consultants (1961); E. Todd Wheeler and Perkins & Will, Architects (1962); Caudill, Rowlett and Scott (1963); and American Health Facilities, Inc. (1973).
