Community Hospital

1925-1986
Community Hospital
"The Friendly Hospital"

When the growing community needed quarters, a community-wide fundraising effort led to the founding of Community Hospital.  On February 6, 1925, eighteen patients were moved from Colonial Hospital to Fieldstone House, which had been built in 1892 by Captain Christian Bowman Dodson, and Community Hospital was underway.

Miss Stewart, a well-qualified nurse administrator, was hired as Community Hospital's first superintendent.  A strict, no-nonsense arbiter of the hospital's destiny, she began each day's work with a prayer meeting for all.
