greatly. Considerable agitation was rising for a new hospital, since the “Gladys Inn” had become antiquated and was considered to be a fire hazard. Through the efforts of Dr. Oppenheimer and the president, Mr. George W. Stevens, the necessary funds were appropriated to construct a new hospital on the site of the old building. The new institution was opened with ceremonies on April 2, 1917. It was a thoroughly equipped general hospital with a bed capacity of sixty-five, and every facility for treatment of the sick and injured was provided. Dr. Wysor resigned during this year. Dr. B. B. Wheeler was appointed surgeon in charge, with Dr. E. D. Wells in charge of eye, ear, nose, and throat work, and Dr. J. N. Williams in charge of the X-Ray and Laboratory departments. Business affairs of the hospital, as well as the School of Nursing which had been organized in 1916, were under the management of Miss E. W. Bauer. In September, 1920, Dr. J. M. Emmett was appointed surgeon in charge, succeed¬ ing Dr. Wheeler. This position he has held until the present time. That same year the first class of student nurses, consisting of three, graduated. Miss Maude Daugherty became hospital superintendent in 1925, and remained in that position until Miss Pearl Pope succeeded her in 1932, at which time the nursing school was discontinued because there was a superfluous number of graduate nurses in the country. On May 12, 1936, a new wing to the hospital, of fifty additional beds, was dedi¬ cated. The entire building had been renovated and redecorated. The most modern X-Ray appliances, hydrotherapy department and other equipment had been installed. A large parking lot was provided in the rear and tennis courts laid out on the east side. In 1937, the nursing school was re-opened under the supervision of Miss Pope. In 1941, during the construction of a new, modern nurses’ home. Miss Pope resigned and Miss Glyde Gox became superintendent of nurses, while Miss Louise M. Reynolds assumed the responsibilities of hospital superintendent. In 1943, when Miss Gox resigned to enter the armed forces, she was replaced by Miss Gertrude Thomp¬ son. 1944 found Miss Thompson resigning to join the navy and Mrs. Anna Wood succeeding her. Another change came in 1945, when Mrs. Wood resigned. At this time the positions of Hospital Superintendent and Superintendent of Nurses was combined and Miss Reynolds was appointed to the position. She is, at the present time, serving in that capacity. Today a modern, well-equipped hospital, serving employees of the Railway Gom- pany, their families, and private patients from the local community, has the approval of the American Gollegc of Surgeons and is one of the hrst one-hundred bed hospitals in Virginia to be completely approved by the American Medical Association. It ' s present bed capacity is one hundred seventy. 1 25 }
