Alfred Worcester Small Hospitals

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Many times within the last few years it has been my privilege to address audiences in neighboring communities where the hospital movement was under consideration, and to meet visiting committees who had come to study the methods and plans of the one hospital which I have had the pleasure of seeing grow from nothing into its present condition of usefulness. At such meetings the impossibility of even briefly telling the whole story has always been an embarrassment. And now in this attempt to tell it I have the pleasure of hoping to help others to the fruition of their endeavors.<br><br>This hope has been greatly enhanced by the addition of Mr. Atkinson's admirable description of the model hospital from the architectural standpoint.
