Located on a hill on the northwest side of Marshfield, the hospital has been serving the needs of the community for the past sixty-two years. From the modest foundation made in 1880 by Mother Frances and her two companions, Sisters of the Sor- rowful Mother, it has grown to the impres- sive hospital of today with accommodations for two hundred and seventy-five patients. Catholic in every sense of the word, it takes in all who require medical aid, regard- less of race, creed, color, or social position. Today St. Joseph Hospital is regarded as one of the best of its kind in the state. Approved by the American College of Sur- geons, the American Medical Association, and the Wisconsin State Department of Nurses, it holds membership too, in the Cath- olic Hospital Association of the United States and Canada and in the American Hospital Association. On its staff are some of the leading physicians and surgeons in the country. Always at hand to minister to the spiritual needs of patients is the resident chaplain, the Reverend John Agnew. And both Sisters and lay nurses are ready and eager at all times to secure the physical and spiritual welfare of all in their care.

St. joseph School of ursing ln coniunction with St. Joseph Hospital is the St. Joseph School of Nursing. Widely known as a leading training school for nurses, it has served as an integral part of the hos- pital for many years. The School, organized in l9l4, was accredited the following year by the State of Wisconsin. The first students' residence, built in l922, accommodated six- ty students, a wing added in l94l furnishes rooms for seventy additional student nurses. To develop a scientific knowledge based on Christian principles, to strengthen in the student a sense of responsibility for the pro- motion of health and prevention of disease, and to provide religious, educational, and social opportunities which will enable the student to develop a wholesome and well- integrated personality--these are the aims and obiectives of St. Joseph School of Nursing. The faculty of the School includes many outstanding Sister Nurses of the Order of the Sorrowful Mother, besides physicians, reg- istered nurses, and specialists, who are all recognized as qualified leaders in their respective fields. The standing of any school can be best iudged by its graduates. During the past year every member of the class of l95l passed, with fine success, the State Board examinations--an achievement that is indication enough of the type of training received. As it has done in the past, so in the future St, Joseph School of Nursing will continue to realize its sublime obiective: to train student nurses in scientific principles of nursing, and to instill in them Christian ethical principles, so they will be better pre- pared to give aid and comfort to those in their care.
