Other reform

Prison reform is another major area of historical Quaker activism. Lesser areas include hospital reforms and assylums.  —Stephen Ewen (Talk) 12:09, 29 August 2007 (CDT)

"...it is of interest to note that four physicians of Quaker background (Drs. Elias Cooper, Levi Lane, and Henry Gibbons Senior and Junior) at different periods during the half century from 1858 to 1908 played key roles in founding the first medical school on the Pacific Coast and in assuring its survival. Their success in creating and preserving the institution, under the difficult circumstances of the times, can best be attributed to the shared idealism of their common religious heritage."[1]
