The Bass Hospital Opens.
Dr. H.H. Bass has just had finished the work necessary to change the second story of a large dwelling house into a small, but modern hospital. And opened it to patients during the past week.
Last year Dr. Bass bought the Lassiter home-place on Turner avenue, and moved his family into it. And in this building he saw the possibility of realizing a desire of long standing ? a hospital for Henderson.
At the time of the purchase the residence contained, on tis second floor, two rooms only, but each as large as two of the modern size, and a hall. And with just the accommodation Dr. bass treated successfully all of the patients that insisted on coming to him at the time.
The work completed last week consists of the thorough remodeling of these two rooms and hall, and the building of a nurse?s apartment, a bath, two linen closets, a hall leading to the operating room, and a strictly up?to-date enameled operating room.
The patient?s apartments are done in white, and fitted with everything to be found in a large city hospital; and each accommodates three patients, four beds would not crowd the rooms.
At present Miss Elizabeth Osborne, of Philadelphia, is the nurse in charge, but n a few weeks Miss Osborne will locate in the city as an independent nurse, and a graduate of St. Luke?s hospital at Richmond will take her place.
Dr. Bass, a graduate of the Richmond Medical College, himself received hospital training at St. Luke?s and came to Henderson highly recommended by D. Stuart McGuire. his record in Henderson has verified this recommendation. This is a small beginning in the supplying of a long left need in Henderson, and every indication points towards success, which means a large, modern hospital not so far in the future.
Dr. Bass is improving his grounds also. The debris of the old stable has been removed, and when a stand of grass is secured the grounds, with a 240 foot front, will be a beautiful setting for the hospital.
