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-

The hospital is located at Park Way, Norwood, McKees 
Rocks. The number of patients admitted in 1926 was 916; 
free hospital days, 4,525; pay hospital days, 4,680; part pay 
hospital days, 1,578; dispensary cases, 84; eye clinic, 563 pa- 
tients, 594 treatments; general clinic 1,348 patients, 2,298
