Notes and Personal Mention

THE HODGE HOSPITAL.
AS the new McGilvray & Torrance
building receives the finishing touches
the completeness of Or. Hodges hospital,
occupying the entire second and third
floors, becomes more apparent. Some
time ago the matter of a public hospital
for Pasadena was discussed. and ways
and means were canvassed in the attempt
to start such an enterprise. but sufficient
encouragement was lacking to put the
scheme upon it's feet and it was given
up, as other attempts in the same direc-
ton hal been. DR.. Hodge was not to be
discouraged, however, and determined
that he would himself start hospital,
and to this end leased several rooms in
the Masonic Temple block for the purpose.
These quarters have become too small for
the work he has in hand. and the new
rooms have been fitted up according to
his ideas in all respects, having been
leased in advance of the construction of
the building. 1t is gratifying to note that
Pasadena is to be so well cared for in the
matter OF her sick and injured, for whose
benefit the doctor has already done too
much in his present limited quarters.
The new hospital will be roomy and well
ventilated and quite complete III its APP
pointments
A passena ger elevator starts from the
lower landing and runs to the roof, where
a large canvas-covered platform is to be
utilized for the benefit OF patients who
may desire to have the full benefit of
fresh air and sun. There are bath rooms,
lavatories, etc., all fitted up in elegant
style and built with special reference to
the business to be carried on.
On the third floor are found suites of
othe rooms for wards, more bath rooms,
opearting rooms, with variety of con-
yeniecces, preparation rooms laboratory,
ETC., each arranged for heating and ven
tilating in the most perfect manner pUs-
sible, while patients will pc removed from
the noise and dust of the street.
