Dr Andrew Woods a Pioneer in Iowa Mental Health
Dr Andrew H Woods of Iowa City, a pioneer psychiatrist who helped shift care from hidden wards to rehabilitation, died in Wellesley Hills Massachusetts at eighty one after injuries from a truck collision. He directed Iowa State University Hospital psychiatry until 1941 and advocated a statewide program to keep trained psychiatrists in Iowa. His case highlights early mental health reform and the reluctance of state boards to fund innovative care despite his efforts and a 1938 comprehensive study.
