The women of the town took up the work in earnest and 
gave a bazaar which netted them $3,500. The Hospital 
Association was formed and the raising of money began 
seriously. The Braddock Medical Society and the Braddock 
Board of Trade united their forces and funds, and together 
with the Hospital Association purchased the Mills home- 
stead. Thus the Braddock General Hospital was launched in 
June, 1906. 
The little hospital of 30 beds was soon inadequate to care 
for the needs of the community, and a new wing was built, 
adding 70 beds. This building was too soon overcrowded, and 
a second wing was built, making the bed capacity 125. The 
buildings were completely modernized and equipped with 
the many conveniences so essential to the success of an 
efficient hospital. During the past year a new department of 
Physical Therapy was opened and new X-Ray equipment 
installed. 
The Braddock Hospital has a recognized training school 
for nurses, which graduates a class each year. A modern 
nurses’ home was built in 1927 which enhances the comfort 
and pleasure of the students. 
The hospital is governed by a board of managers con- 
sisting of seven business men of the community. These men 
unselfishly devote their time and energy toward keeping the 
hospital up to the necessary high standards required for 
service and recognition. The hospital is recognized by the 
American College of Surgeons and the American Medical 
Association, and is approved by-the Pennsylvania State 
Board of Medical Education and Licensure. 
Miss A. Grace Scott is the superintendent and the mem- 
bers of the board of managers are: George Watt, president 
W. J. Tracey, vice president; H. J. Wagner, Titus Hodder, 
A. L. Lipsky, Walter Yenny, and J. A. Lawler. B. P. Byrger- 
son is treasurer and A. P. Roderus is secretary.
