The North Carolina Baptist Hospital also experienced hardships. Chartered to conduct business primarily ltfor the benefit of the sick and needy and to Hsubordinate every other activity and purpose to reach that end , the hospital was frequently overladen with nonpaying pa- tients. The South Wing, built under the urging and support of the faculty physicians, was primarily to create room for full-paying, private-patient admissions, which streng- thened the NCBH. above: The Flesearch Building and the Vivarium Extension under construction, on the west end of the medical school, are shown here around 1961.
