In 1910 a committee of Medford doctors " petitioned Mother Mary of Nazareth, provincial superior . Of the Sisters of Charity of . Providence in Portland, to ': found a hospital in Medford. The reply was favorable, and In May, 1911, Sister Praxedes of Providence, builder and first superior, with three Sis ters, arrived in Medford, and assumed charge of a small frame ' building bearing the l a souuiern . uregon hos pital". The yellow, two-story frame house was located on the corner of South 'Central and Eleventh streets, and 14 patient! were installed in It when : the sisters assumed charge. The attic became the 6 ster's dormitory. Plans Began ' The superior (who was later to be the superior general of : her Institute) was a woman of faith and vision. Plans were begun Without delay for a modern brick structure that would accommodate from eighty to one hundred pati ents. Ground was broken In May, 1011; and, patients were moved In oa January 2, 1912. The formal dedication took place on February 18, 1912. Tor six years, only the. second floor was kept occupied, but the third floor waa opened for tise In 1018, the first year, of the great influenta epidemic, At that' time, the city furnish ed cots, beds, and blankets , to help the hospital cope with the emergency situation; many organisations in the val ley had assisted In furnishing rooms when the hospital open- ed, Practical assistance was freely given In those early years, and patients and staff were orten treated to surplus fruits from valley orchards, A few years later,- there was an outbreak of smallpox ' In the city, and the Isolation . department of the hospital was crowded. Still later, dip- then patients filed the small :. eptce. ' .. . ; Sacred Heart hospital never closed Its doors; it has answer ed the sudden demands of ill ness and disaster for three gen erations of valley residents.. If unint School The school of nursing was opened in 1812 to solve the problems of finding profes . slonal nurses to aid with the care of the patients. The loca tion of Medford, so far from any city, made trained help difficult to find.- Accordingly, a training school was organ ized in May, 1912, with three applicants from the vicinity as the first probationers. The first graduation took place on June 8, 1915, with the Misses Mary Barba, Angelina Pro vost, and Ada Hamlin receiv ing diplomas and medals. All three graduates, of this first class reside in or near Med ford, and will be present at the 50th year anniversary tea. , The enrollment ' of the school Increased satisfactorily, , but in 1933, new and more stringent laws required ' that The Last We'll measure, ' make and hang or cut the -material and you can make your own. .. , VALLEY SHADE CO. 2034 lamer Rd. Week and Anniversary training schools 'must be con nected with hospitals having a daily average of fifty pati ents. Plans were made to transfer the. 15 students then attending the Sacred Heart Hospital School of Nursing to Saint .Vincent's hospital, Port land. Throughout the years, nurses and nuns have dedi cated their lives to the care of the sick. Sister Mary Nor bert typifies the selfless serv ice given by the nuns to the patients. She has helped the people of this community for 43 years, . longer than any other member of the hospital staff. More amazing is the fact that all of these 43 years at Sacred Hear hospital have been spent on night duty. She is said to have a sixth sense which directs her to the pati ent who cannot .sleep, the frightened child, the appre All Units To Study. Appliances .
