WILSON HUBERT ATTENDS
REGIONAL INSTITUTE
Wilson P. Hubert attended the
Southern Regional Institute of the
National Association of Social
Workers that met in Atlanta, Ga.,
June 20 through June 22. The
theme was “The Social Worker in
Team Collaboration.”
iWe feel particularly proud of
'tVS? honor accorded Mr. Hubert for
lining selected as one of the repre-
sqntaties to attend this institute
because admission was confined
to selected professional personnel
from Florida, Georgia, North and
South Carolina, Louisiana, Ken¬
tucky and Tennessee.
The director was Mrs. Celia It.
Moss, who is director of Social
Service and Home Care programs
at Montefiore Hospital in
burgh, Pa.
Outstanding lecturers included
Miss Elizabeth I’. Rice, associate
professor of Social Work in Public
Health at the Harvard School of
Public Health; and Dr. Otto Von
Mcring, professor of Social An¬
thropology in the Department of
Psychiatry at the School of Medi¬
cine at the University of Pitts¬
burgh.
All the discussions centered
around the value of team work
philosophy and practice in the
cultivation, restoration and con¬
servation of human resources.
Mr. Hubert has been affiliated
with various phases of Social
Work since 1935. From 1945 up
to the present time he has been
serving as a Case Worker for the
Chatham County Health Depart¬
ment.

I they persuaded the Negro
cians to give the'!- services
| to indigent patients in order
| the sanitarium could continue
; serve this community and the
I roundipg districts.
| At this point, in 1905, the
: McKanc’s Women’s and
! Hospital was changed to
I Hospital and Training School
I Nurses.
The motive behind this
ment was to continue to have
I Negro hospital where
nurses and Negro doctors
! serve Negro patients during
| dark days of supersritition,
I pox, typhus and typhoid fevers.
In 1908 a staff of six
reorganized and pledged
j selves to render free medical
i surgical service to all indigent
I tients, and until this day
have kept their pledge.
During the balmy days
were twelve to fifteen
on the active staff and
| on the courtesy staff, with
j overall personnel of forty.
In 1920 Dr. Blackman, one
j her of the staff and three
hers of the Hospital’s
met at the hospital and raised
| first money for a new
Hospital at which time $3.50
raised. Over a period of
i years of campaigning under
leadership of Mrs. Lucy A.
Mr. Sidney A. Jones and
until $4,000.00 was raised
a period of thirteen years, and
was this money that financed
enabled the institution to hire an
• experienced campaign worker, Mr.
Eckerle of Tampa, Florida,
m the winter and spring of 1933-
1934, raised $125,000 and
the building on lots that were ai-
ready paid for.
It is impossible to mention
names of all donors here, but
public did give generously and
substantially. One individual con-
tributed at least $25,000 while the
Rosenwald Foundation contributed
$50,000.
