building took place October 10, 1915. Patients were moved
into the building immediately following the dedication.
During October, 1922, a splendid nurses’ residence, con-
taining forty rooms, having been erected, was donated to the
hospital by Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Kinloch of Parnassus.
Today Citizens General Hospital has a capacity of 100
patients and the need of additional rooms is most urgent.
This need will have to be met in the near future in order to
carry on the work in an acceptable manner. Within the
hospital one finds every phase of hospital work being carried
out. This is further supplemented by the training school for
nurses. The hospital and training school respectively are
approved by the American College of Surgeons and the De-
partment of Education of Pennsylvania.

COLUMBIA HOSPITAL
The Columbia Hospital is now in the 38th year of its use-
fulness. It is located at Penn avenue and West street, Wilk-
insburg, and is an institution of the United Presbyterian
Church. It is the outgrowth of the Little Memorial Hospital,
which was at first intended for use of the Orphans’ Home
children, and was located on the North Side, Pittsburgh, then
the City of Allegheny. Dr. James Herron gave the deed of a
valuable piece of property, and later came a bequest of
$15,000 from a prominent business man whose sister was a
member of the board.
