Comments

The William Wirt Winchester Hospital will be closed on August 1, 1940. The decrease in demand for the tuberculosis hospital was partly due to an increase use of the state sanatoria for tuberculosis. The Committee will now need to find projects that qualify under the terms of Mrs. Winchester’s original gift. More beds and more endowments felt necessary. A campaign to raise money would start in the next two years. A blood bank was established. The Public Relations of the hospital is publishing a monthly magazine geared toward the community. New accounting system in place this year. Growth in Chest Surgery and Neurosurgery.
