In the late 1800's several prominent American industrialists, sometimes called "robber barons", among them J. P. Morgan,George Maccullogh Miller, Morris K. Jesup, Cornelius Vanderbilt. This organization was originally referred to the Hospital Saturday and Sunday Association.[1] Within several years it had expanded to include all of New York City and was begining to spread out to the rest of continental USA.[2]. Today this organization is referred to as the United Hospital Fund.
