The Latter-day Saints’ Hospital

The Latter-day Saints' Hospital Another educational factor has entered into the development of the work of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and that is the hospital movement. There has been established in Salt Lake City, a beautiful and commodious hospital, known as the Dr. W. H. Groves Latter-day Saints Hospital ; the name having been derived through a bequest of the late Dr. W. H. Groves who left his estate valued at $50,000, toward the establishment of the hospital to bear his name. The institution has at present a capacity of 125 beds, and there is in progress of erection an addition which will increase the capacity of the hospital to nearly 250. In connection with this institution is a Training School for Nurses which now has an enrollment of seventy in training in charge of seven high class supervisors. When the new wing is ready for occupancy the training school will have an enrollment of about one hundred persons. ■MTMITt'1 ' j ImaiiHMlflH 11 Hfilf .-■.?** m% M ft ' jjBl ^^^^^HR£ ■mmgiai; iLii y E^ SlBi NURSES' HOME, LATTER-DAY SAINTS' HOSPITAL The institution gives a three years' course of training for nursing in general surgery, medicine, children, hydro and electro therapy treatments, massage, etc. The institution will represent, with the new wing, an outlay of nearly $600,000.
