Description: Richard Cabot was a MD but was really a prime developer of hospital (medical) social work.  He even paid for social work positions from his own salary when he couldn't get administrators to fund their positions.  He had a great understanding of the importance of reducing sickness using outreach to communities and public health methods and the significance of after care to see that patients had feasible plans.
