New Building to be Named
For Miss Amy Lee Oxford
Dutiful Nurte Honored. Occupation
Building Soon To Be Erected In
Building Program
Through an announcement appear
ing in the Sanitarium Bulletin, the
new Occupational Therapy that will
be erected in the new building pro
gram now in progress, will bear the
name of Miss Amy Lee Oxford, a
nurse who was killed while in the line
of duty at the State Hospital.
Mis# Oxford, who first began the
job of habit training at the Institu
tion, had been devoted to her work
and it was through her effort that
this department became so effective.
She began her work in 1919 with
only one patient working in a mmH
room. Patients were added until .ihe
was moved into a domitory in order
that the scope of her work might be
increased. Occupation was found to
fit in with hab : t training.
Her work was first devoted to
chronic cases who were filthy or de
structive. , When the group reached
twenty-five it was deemed wise to
drop the chronics and begin on new
pati nta. This is when the real occu
pational therapy began and Miss Ox
ford was the pioneer of this work.
The grqwth of this work has been
marked, and the new building that
to be erected will house a larger
number patient* than ever before.
The results gained have been re
markable.
