N PRESENTING this, our first booklet on the Pensacola Hospital,
it may not be amiss to give a brief history of the hospital, its estab-
lishment, financial standing and the work of maintenance during the past
nine years.
SRealizing the important need of an adequately equipped hospital in
their midst, the physicians and prominent citizens of the city formed the
Pensacola Hospital Association in 1914, and pledged $10,000 toward this
undertaking.
The Sisters of Charity of Emmitsburg, Maryland, were solicited to
further the cause and accepted this office. The ground, consisting of
three blocks, was donated by the Right Rev. Bishop Allenof Mobile. The
fund of the association formed the nucleus of donations which made
possible the construction of the modern fire proof structure, equipped with
every modern appliance for the scientific care of the sick. On September
1, 1915, the hospital roodns were opened. The intervening years gave not
been uneventful or unfruitful.
During the influenza epidemic when the grim destroyer stalked
through the city ind country, exacting its fearful toll bf life and health,
the hospital proved a haven of refuge for the stricken. Day and night
many were brpaght in, no one was refused. With the assistance of
volunteer lay workers all were cared for. The Hospital Corps had the
gratification of seeing the largest percentage of its patiets return to
their homes.
The hospital receives no appropriations and has received no endow-
ments. It depends entirely upon the funds received from patients for
the payment of the current expenses.
The Sisters' services are gratuitous. They receive no salary. The
good accruing to bodies and souls is considered as their ample recompense.
All physicians of good standing have the privilege of treating their
own patients and have access to the hospital at all times.
