"St. Luke's Clinic," Esther Bubley (1921–1998).
From estherbubley.com:
"Bubley sat unobtrusively in the waiting rooms of the outpatient clinics and the emergency ward of St. Luke's Hospital in New York City, photographing people waiting to be treated. These images were not commissioned by Life, but Bubley entered them in the magazine's young photographers contest in 1951, and won third prize for a series. They were published in the article 'The People Who Go to Hospitals.' ... They quoted one of the contest judges, 'To my knowledge the story of a hospital has never before been done with such warmth of understanding.' "
