The war years tended to be healthy ones for Americans on the home front. Although the draft resulted in a temporary shortage of doctors, thousands of hospitals and health clinics were constructed during the early 1940’s. By mid-1940, more doctors were graduating from med school than ever. Strong economy allowed more Americans to afford their services. The results of the medical care boom were striking: life expectancy for civilians increased by 3 years between 1930 and 1945, while the infant mortality rate dropped by more than 1/3.

Why might the thousands of hospitals and health clinics have been constructed in the U.S. during the 1940’s?
