Title:: Elizabeth Steel Magee hospital

Collection:: Economics Books

mediate preparation was begun for a permanent building, and ground was broken for it January 12, 1914. The hospital has accommodations for 140 adult patients and 80 babies. The accommodations include both private and ward service. Mr. Magee did not specify the exact nature of the hospital which he wished to be built. The original intention was to build a general hospital. Investigation, however, revealed the fact that the need of a general hospital was not apparent, and inasmuch as a clause in the will distinctly specified that there be admitted to the hospital “all females who applied for admission thereto for lying-in purposes,” it was decided, on this basis, which was the only definite provision of the will, to build a hospital exclusively for women. The hospital was completed and patients were admitted into it October, 1918. The hospital cares for obstetric and gynecologic cases, and is a teaching and research institution as well, being connected with the Medical School of the University of Pittsburgh. For a period of time during the war, the hospital was given over to the Government for the care of the soldiers. In January, 1921, it was reverted to its original status, and has from that time cared for women and children. For the past two years the need of larger accommodations has been felt, and the board of trustees decided to add another wing to the hospital which will afford more ward beds and small rooms for the accommodation of persons of moderate means. The need for this sort of accommodation is growing daily. The new wing is progressing rapidly, and it is hoped that by April t may be completed and ready for occupancy. Board of Trustees, Hon.
