MICROFILMING OF RECORDS for permanent filing fa
cilitates study and research in the modern hospital.
ATHENS — St. Mary’s Hos
pital was opened October 11,
1906, in an old colonial resi
dence at 360 N. Milledge Av
enue.
The hospital consisted of sev
en rooms for the patients, an
operating room, an emergency
treatment room and one recep
tion room used as an X-Ray of
fice and a general office for
both doctors. A two room serv
ant house was converted into a
ward for the colored patients.
With ten patients a day the hos
pital was considered prospering.
Nurses were trained and later a
Nurses’ Training School was op
ened.
The first ambulance was a
covered milk wagon equipped
only with a cot. It would often
take half a day to transport a
patient to the hospital as each
doctor had to hitch his horse to
the wagon.
As the population of Athens
increased to 20,000 inhabitants,
it became necessary to build a
larger and more convenient hos
pital. So in the spring of 1918
the old building was moved to
Harris St. to its present site. A
new $75,000.00 brick building
was erected, the present exist
ing St. Mary’s Hospital facing
Milledge Ave. In 1928 a new An
nex was added for colored pa
tients.
Due to the deaths of Dr. Proc
tor and Dr. Fullilove the hos
pital was closed in 1936.
It was in early spring 1938
when St. Mary’s Hospital came
under the direction of the Mis
sionary Sisters of the Most Sac
red Heart of Jesus. Mother M.
Columba, Sisters, Sira, Virgilia,
Calasanza and Wedegunda be
long to the pioneers of these
early days. A complete renova
tion took place and new furni
ture and equipment was install
ed.
On July 10, 1938, His Excel
lency, the Most Rev. Gerald P.
O’Hara, Bishop of Savannah-At-
lanta officiated at the opening
exercises. Many friends paid
their tribute by sending beauti
ful flowers for this occasion. It
was a very hot day and the lad
ies and gentlemen of the town
rendered their services to offer
refreshments. They are grateful
ly remembered by the Sisters.
The day following the dedica
tion, July 11, 1938, four patients
were admitted and ever since
the number of In-Patients has
reached 73,943 as of today.
In 1940 St. Mary’s Hospital
was placed on the list of the
Fully Approved Hospitals by
the American College of Surg
eons. In 1941 a new wing, called
St. Joseph’s Hall, was completed
to add to the new facilities; with
a bed-complement of 100 adult
beds and 18 bassinettes.
At present a new wing is
planned to answer urgent needs
for better facilities and more ac
commodations.
It is with gratitude to the
Lord God and to all friends that
the Sisters of St. Mary’s mark
this 20th milestone of the his
tory of St. Mary’s Hospital.
CATHOLIC
CENTER
CREATED
GENEVA, Switzerland (NC)
—The Sovereign Military Order
of Malta has created a Catholic
international center, with head
quarters here, to study the phy
sical, moral and spiritual needs
of victims of Hansen’s disease
(leprosy).
The decision to establish the
center was taken by members
of the Order in response to a
wish expressed by His Holiness
Pope Pius XII when he address
ed delegates to the first Interna
tional Congress for the Social
Rehabilitation of Lepers, on Ap
ril 16, 1956.
At the same time the Order
of Malta also signed a conven
tion with the Spanish govern
ment, outlining a program of
assistance to victims of the dis
ease.
