  Notes: By 1907, there were about 20 nuns at the Bons Secours Baltimore mission, busily nursing the sick, caring for children and performing other duties. In 1919, they did something new, something that was not part of their original mission: they built a 20-bed hospital. “It was the first hospital our order built,” says Sister Urban. (Today, she notes, the order operates hospitals in three other U.S. cities and runs 19 clinics in depressed areas around the world.)
  Since then, the hospital has grown continuously: in 1958, a new wing was built; in 1964, a new intensive-care unit; in 1972, a new emergency room. (In 1921, the Sisters built their own nursing school, adjacent to the hospital. All Bon Secours nuns become nurses, and “the order trained it own for many years, ” notes Sister Nancy. In fact, both she and Sister Urban attended Bon Secours’ nursing school. However, the school closed its doors in 1970, says Sister Nancy, because “nursing had become so specialized that it was easier to send our people to four-year colleges.”

  Notes: A year’s experience has proved the great value of the new Dispensary Annex of the Hospital building. The new rooms are large, well lighted, well ventilated, and in every respect adapted for the work carried on in them in the various departments. Skill, money, thought, and supervision were freely given, and the results are all that could be desired. The Hospital is now completed for its work, and nothing more is needed in regard to the building. To the Lady Managers all this is due, and the Governors express their warmest thanks and commendation.
