To Observe
A (liver tea to be given at
Sacred Heart hospital Sun
day, May 7, by Providence
guild will be a double cele
bration. It will open National
, Hospital week, and stress the
1961 theme, "Your Hospltal-
A Community Partnership.
Of greater importance to val
- ley residents, ' it will com
J memorate 50 years of continu-
ou3 service to this community
by the hospital.
. Co-chairmen of the tea are
Mrs. N. James Wilson and
Mrs. John Welch. Members of
Providence guild will head
the committees for tea. ar
rangements.
An effort has been made
to locate the 42 graduates of
the school of nursing, which
was established - at Sacred
Heart hospital in 1912 and
- closed in 1933. Nine cf them
live in Medford, and others
" ' are residing on : the ' West
: Coast. All of them have been
Invited to attend the tea at
'their Alma Mater, and the
response indicates that the
nursing school will be well
represented. It will be a home
coming celebration for the
group. :
-. The story of the foundation
of Sacred Heart hospital is of
fpeclal interest in this golden
anniversary year. 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

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

agent, and will cover three
phases of this subject.
It will first concern the
purchase of small, electrical
appliances and what to look
for in o r d e r to get the an
pllance best fitted to its need.
The second phase will be on
the care of-the appliance and
how to keep it clean and in
the best working order. Last
to be studied will be the stor
age of the appliance. Many
times it is not used -to its
full capacity simply because
it is not stored in the most
convenient place, tho leader

Nursery Head
Sister Mary Norbert has
been in charge of the nursery,
and assisted at delivery and
attended many thousands of
babies.., More than 11,000
births . occurred at Sacred
Heart Hospital from 1919 to
1961. .
Sacred Heart hospital was
built as a substantial brick
building, and has endured the
years almost unchanged in its
exterior. However, an exten
sive remodeling program was
undertaken in recent years to
bring the facilities up to mod'
em standards of the best medi
cal care. Other changes high
light tne passing of time.
Once the hospital stood iso
lated on a high hill, remote
from the small town; now new
subdivisions are crowding the
foot of that hill, and the city
has surrounded it.-Once the
Sisters rode to town in a one
seat buggy, pulled by a horse
named Slat, a gift of the late
Dr. R. J. Conroy; now they
drive a 1955. Ford, a gift from
the hospital employees. . A
neon cross atop the hospital,
another gift of the employees.
adds a modern' touch to the
ageless mission carried on
within the walls. .
The Sisters are deeply
grateful for the help they have
received from the community
through the years. The theme
of National Hospital week,
"Your Hospital A Community
Partnership", seems particu
larly suitable for their golden
anniversary celebration. The
many citizens who have con.
trlbuted to the growth of the
hospital are all invited to at
