ALL KENIUCKIANS
ARE MADE WELCOME
Booth Memorial Hospital at coVington
Is Operated BY the Salvation
Army.

Kentuckians from every part of the
State will always find a hospitable well
come at the famous Booth Memorial
Hospital, at Covington, whether they
have money or not. Support Of this
hospital is one object of the Salvation
Army's Home Service Campaign, May
1920.
The Booth Memorial Hospital was
the home Of the late Amos Shinkle,
the founder and promoter of the sus-
pension bridge connecting Covington
and Cincinnati When the home was
erected many years ago it was famous
all over the United States as one Of
the finest in this section Of the country.
Mr.. Shinkle left the beautiful homo
to the Salvation Army upon his death,
and since that time it has been used
as a hospital. 1t is strictly ,undenom-
national Men and women from all
churches and representing all creeds
are on the advisory board and the vari-
Gus committees. They are among the
most prominent citizens of Covington.
Theirs is strictly labor Of love, and
they receive no compensation. The
same care and attention is given to
patients who have no money as to
those who can afford to pay part or
whole Of the fees required. Not q
single patient without money has ever
been turned away from this hospital;
although many patients who offer to
pay are not received because of lack
of room.
Thirty per cent of all the cases in
Booth Memorial Hospital have been
charity patients. This record is by
far the best of any hospital in the
United States.
The medical staff of the hospital is
made up Of the best-known physicians
in this section. DR.. ]. Risk Meek, a
Pendleton county boy, is chief of staff.
In connection with the hospital a
nurses training school is maintained.
Miss Catherine A. Webb is superin-
tendent Of nurses. She is an expert
enced nurse and has had postgraduate
work in five of the largest hospitals
in the country. Seven Of the graduates
of the school went into Red Cross
work during the war, and two Of them
were overseas. They were Nina Dun
lap, who recently passed away, and
Leannah Sorrell, formerly Of Pendle-
ton county, Kentucky. Both Of them
rendered splendid service.
Great interest is being shown in
Booth Memorial Hospital N all sec
lions of Kentucky because patients are
received from all parts of the state,
charitable as well as full-pay and part
pay patients.
