The University has announced the appointment of Dr. Robert J. Glaser '40 as President of Affiliated Hospitals Center, Inc. The appointment is expected to further the University's planned merger of the so-called Harvard Teaching Hospitals.
Glaser, who is currently dean of the University of Colorado Medical School, will oversee the uniting of the Boston Lying-In Hospital, Children's Hospital Medical Center, Free Hospital for Women, Massachusetts Eye and ear Infirmary, Peter Bent Brigham, and Robert Breck Brigham Hospitals.
The complex will be located near the present site of the Children's Hospital and the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, which will probably be torn down to make way for the center. Besides reducing hospital costs, formation of the new hospital costs, formation of the new hospital center is expected to increase the efficiency of the general administration. Although Glasr will be incharge of the entire complex, each hospital will still retain its own staff.
