Completes Six Years of Service
(Special to The Bulletin)
COLUMBIA, S. C.—Providence
Hospital will mark the completion
of six years of progressive service
to Columbia in June.
Established by the Sisters of
Charity of St. Augustine, at the

increasing value to the citizens
of Columbia and its vicinity.

admitted to Providence Hospital:
in 1939, 2,114; in 1940, 2,365; In

has, with some difficulty, and a
great deal of skill, maintained its
standard of nursing care through

military services claim so many
nurses for the medical corps of
the armed forces.
As yet, a school of nursing has
not been opened at Providence
Hospital, though many applica
tions have been received from
young women wishing to be train
ed under the Sisters of Charity
of St. Augustine. That is another
goal toward which the Sisters arc
working-
