McKEESPORT HOSPITAL 
At a meeting of the McKeesport Chamber of Commerce, 
the question of a hospital for the city and vicinity was 
raised, and a committee was appointed to raise the necessary 
money for the building and equipment. The hospital was 
organized and opened on April 8, 1894. It was chartered by 
the Court of Allegheny County for charitable and educational 
purposes, and not for profit. 
Since the opening date, the hospital has continued as a 
general hospital and training school for nurses. New additions 
have been added, and at the present time can accommodate 
two hundred patients in private and ward service. Soon we 
shall have ready for occupancy a new maternity home, with a 
forty bed capacity, and which is modern and first class in 
avery respect. 
The hospital is ranked as “A” Class by the State Board 
of Medical Education and Licensure. It carries the “first” 
rating by the College of Physicans and Surgeons, and<the 
training school also comes under the “A’” Class rating. It 
has an able staff, is well equipped. and recognized as a first 
slass institution. 
The hospital is managed and operated by a board of 
trustees who are elected each year by the contributors. The 
aames of the trustees are as follows: Dr. J. W. Fawcett, 
president; H. R. Stuckslager, secretary and treasurer; R. C.
