Title:: Braddock general hospital

Collection:: Economics Books

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. CANONSBURG GENERAL HOSPITAL Situated on an elevation on the borders of Canonsburg, the Canonsburg General Hospital receives full benefit from the bright sunshine and the refreshing breezes.
