ONE HUNDRED YEARS : A HISTORY OF THE MIRIAM HOSPITAL WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION

1st Edition. Original Illustrated Wrappers with cut-out Image vintage donation box. 12mo. 64 pages ; 21 cm. “The Miriam Hospital Association formed in 1907 with a group of concerned women sharing a common goal: to establish a hospital in Providence. Their dream, to provide quality medical care for Jewish immigrants in surroundings where their language and customs were understood, was achieved in 1926 when The Miriam received a charter from the Rhode Island state legislature. As the community grew, so did its need for health care services. The Miriam’s transition from a 63-bed hospital on Parade Street to the 247-bed complex on Summit Avenue has been a response to these needs. The new Miriam was dedicated on April 24, 1966 ‘…to serve all the people of Rhode Island, regardless of race, creed, origin or economic means. ’ Throughout the years, The Miriam Hospital Association, now known as The Miriam Hospital Women’s Association, has played a major role in the development of the hospital. Their fundraising efforts and volunteer programs have channeled a network of resources, providing invaluable assistance to the hospital and the community. ” (The Miriam Story: www.miriamhospital.org, 2017) SUBJECT(S) : Hospitals -- Rhode Island -- Providence -- History.
