America's Oldest Hospital: Abandoned
This film explores the abandoned Charity Hospital of New Orleans, founded in 1736 and run for nearly three centuries by the Daughters of Charity to serve the city's poor. It traces the institution's long history and its closure in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The empty halls become a way into stories of medicine, faith, and a changing city. It is a haunting watch about healthcare, history, and a landmark left to decay. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
