"The traveling exhibition and companion website explore how party politics shaped the response to the 1793 yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia. While citizens confronted yellow fever in the absence of an effective cure or consensus about the origins of the disease, medical professionals, early political parties, and some individuals advanced their respective agendas. As a result, Philadelphia’s sick and dying received medical care informed as much by politics as by the best available science."
