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.
