Benoit Gaumer, Georges Desrosiers, and Othmar Keel. Histoire du Service de santé de la ville de Montréal 1865–1975. (Culture et Société.) Montréal: Les Presses de l'Université Laval. Les éditions de l'IQRC. 2002. Pp. xvi, 277. $28.00.

Benoit Gaumer, Georges Desrosiers, and Othmar Keel's detailed narrative of the development of Montreal's municipal health services begins with the striking of a board of health in 1865 in the face of a threatened cholera epidemic. It closes with the shift of medical organization away from public health at the municipal level toward global medical services at local sites, and toward large-scale health management at the provincial and regional levels, with the introduction of universal medical insurance. The book is distinguished by its attempt to provide a comprehensive account of municipal health organization and initiatives.
