“Forgive me for having a Mr. Smith goes to Valletta moment, but I believe deep down Mrs. Clinton and myself having emerged from the same Edgewater beach cradle, walked the same WPA sidewalks in Park Ridge, and had similar parental perspectives - though my Dad was a Kennedy Democrat through and through, and I got the sense that Mr. Rodham was of a different mind - we nevertheless with similar origin, and cultural formation, feel about the same love of country.”

Edgewater Medical Center

For some executives and doctors at Chicago’s Edgewater Medical Center personal profits came before those ethical standards. The unnecessary suffering and premature deaths they caused resulted in the shuttering of a historic Chicago neighborhood hospital. The tragedy makes one wonder if the culprits are even human at all.

Dr. Maurice Mazel founded the Edgewater Hospital at the outset of the Great Depression in 1929. He personally oversaw hospital operations until his death in 1980. During his tenure notable births included current US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and serial killer John Wayne Gacy. His wife, Circus Hall of Fame performer Harriet Mazel-Szanto, functioned as chairman and CEO from 1980 to 1984. She later shed the CEO title, but remained on as chairman until 1988. After her passing the hospital built under the benevolent Mazel family name sought new ownership.
