the Jane Fraser Memorial Building. It was presented to the public January, 1912. Capacity, sixty beds. Four years later a small addition was added to the building, making it a seventy bed hospital. For a number of years this hospital building not only took care of the sick and injured in the com- munity but was the center of medical and nursing education of the North boroughs. In 1919 a separate three story brick building was erected. This contains a modern laundry, employees’ quarters and garage. In 1920 the hospital again outgrew its capacity. There were insufficient beds to take care of the sick in the com- munity. The directors held a financial campaign in October, 1923, for funds to.build a new addition; $85,000 was subscrib- ed. Of this $65,000 was received; $125,000 was issued in hospital bonds, and $100,000 sold to finance the new addition. This was opened September 6, 1926. Approximate cost $200,000. It is a modern fire proof structure, and contains thirty private rooms, three four bed wards and three bed wards, two childrens’ wards, nursery, sun-parlors, utility and service rooms, main kitchen and dining-rooms, power and re- frigeration plant. The record of the hospital has been one of steady progress. From a twenty bed hospital to one hundred and twenty-five beds, of which fifty are private rooms. The present service of the Suburban General Hospital em- braces the following: medical, surgical, obstetrical, eye, ear, nose and throat, and children’s diseases, with X-ray and pathological laboratories, dispensary and ambulance service. The hospital is a member of the American Hospital As- sociation. It is approved by the American College of Sur- geons and endorsed by the Chamber of Commerce of Pitts- burgh. Twenty two thousand patients have been cared for by the hospital. The present assests are approximately $500,000 with a yearly expenditure of about $125,000. The personnel is composed of the following: thirty student nurses, four grad- uate nurse supervisiors, one night supervisor, one anaesthe- tist, one laboratory technician, a dietitian, directress of nurses, house-keeper, resident physician and student interne, bookkeeper, stenographer, engineer and twenty domestic em- ployees.
