I plan to contribute more of Henry Gage's governmental involvement with the plague during his term as Governor of California in the early 1900s. As a politician and lawyer, Henry Gage's Wikipedia biography could be improved with more detailed historical evidence of what he contributed in California. A preview of his past would accentuate how he became a lawyer and later, Governor of California. I can add a topic of Gage's inaugural address to display his ideas of how to improve government in California before and then compare his actions in office after. http://governors.library.ca.gov/addresses/20-gage.html

 I plan on working on the Marine Hospital Service for the Plague assignment and provide more insightful information on their funding, more history in depth, and possibly if they teach medical students. I can add more backbone-type information similar to other hospital related wikipedia pages. I will use these resources: https://www.usphs.gov/aboutus/history.aspx, http://www.marinehospital.org/publichealth.htm, https://history.nih.gov/research/sources_legislative_chronology.html

Marine Hospital Service protects against the spread of disease from sailors returning from foreign ports and maintaining the health of immigrants entering the country.

Marine Hospital Fund is plagued by cost overruns, administrative mismanagement, and rationing of care Dr. John Maynard Woodworth was subsequently appointed to the Service as "Supervising Surgeon." He transformed the service into a disciplined organization based on his experience in the Union Army as a surgeon. Dr. Woodworth required his physicians to be a mobile work force stationed where the service was in need, and he mandated the daily wear uniforms. This eventually led to the creation of the modern-day Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.
