The Milbank Quarterly is a quarterly peer-reviewed healthcare journal covering health care policy.
It was established in 1923 and is published by John Wiley & Sons on behalf of the Milbank Memorial Fund, an endowed national foundation funded by Elizabeth Milbank Anderson that supports research of issues related to population health and health policy.
The Milbank Memorial Fund has historically funded controversial health care practices, including the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, in which African Americans were systematically and deceptively denied critical care for the benefit of the white scientific community.
[5] The journal was established in 1923 as The Milbank Memorial Fund Quarterly Bulletin.
In 1934 it was renamed The Milbank Memorial Fund Quarterly, and in 1973 The Milbank Memorial Fund Quarterly: Health and Society.
