Changes in county hospitals during Sheldon's tenure.
Dramatic changes took place in county hospitals during Dr. Sheldon's tenure, 1964 to 1985. The primary impact came from Medicaid and Medicare legislation in 1965. The secondary impact came as the result of the drug culture entering American cities.
