Collection:: Economics Books

In the twenty-five years of its existence, the hospital has made wonderful strides, and from a hospital the size of the average home, it has grown until now it is a building four stories high, having accommodation for fifty-five patients. Building plans are under way at the present time, which, when carried out, will add materially to the betterment of this splendid institution. The original hospital, now used as a nurses’ home, is entirely inadequate to house the student and graduate nurses, and plans are being drawn at the present time to build a large and modern home at a cost of approxi- mately $45,000. This new nurses’ home will conform in every way with State board regulations. The Canonsburg Hospital School of Nursing is an ac- credited school offering a three year course, and is open to girls between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five years of age, having one year of academic high school work.

H. McBurney; vice president, W. H. Dunlap; secretary, Charles Schade; treasurer, George McNutt. Olive McWilliams, R. N., is the superintendent, and Elizabeth Ralston, R.N., assistant superintendent, are assisted by a staff of five graduate nurses. There is an open staff of eighteen doctors, who are from Canonsburg and the surrounding towns. These doctors, in their faithful and competent work, make it possible for the the hospital to maintain its present high standard. CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL OF PITTSBURGH The Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh is free to every sick child regardless of color, race and creed, who is in need of aid, and is unable to pay for it. There are, also, attractive rooms for private and semi-private patients, and the kind of medical and surgical treatment that only a children’s hospital can supply. This hospital is the gift of over 22,000 citizens of Pitts- burgh and neighboring towns, who, in 1924, gave sixteen hun- dred thousand dollars to build and equip it. The present or-
