OHIO VALLEY GENERAL HOSPITAL The Ohio Valley General Hospital was orginally called the McKees Rocks General Hospital, having been opened in the autum of 1900. The site was purchased in that year by Dr. S. M. Black, because of its healthful location and central position for the town and its important industries. Later it was decided to incorporate the company, because the opera- tion of the hospital was unsuccessful financially, and the stock was sold to local residents. This plan was carried out in 1908, and since that time the directors have spent much money in supplying the hospital with the many modern equip- ments which have become a necessity. The hospital is located at Park Way, Norwood, McKees Rocks.
