The Hospital for the Women of
Maryland has decided to build an en-
tirely new hospital plant on a new
site in the immediate neighborhood of
Union Memorial Hospital in Balti-
more.
For this purpose a Semi Centennial
Appeal is to be conducted throughout
Maryland for a minimum of $780,
900, though the full needs of the Hos
pital require sum nearer $2,500, 900.
The extra million dollars is needed as
an endowment to enable the Hospital
to continue and to increase its large
amount of free and part-free work,
which in recent years has exceeded 30
percent.
1t is the only general hospital ex-
clusively for women in the State, or
south of the Mason and Dixon line.
Serves Entire State
The Hospital for Women of Mary
land is truly a State institution. Of
the $4,000 patients served by the Hos
pital, from twelve to fifteen thousand
have come from Maryland commune
ties outside of Baltimore.
The decision to move near Union
Memorial Hospital is regarded by the
leading physicians and surgeons of
Baltimore as one of the most signifi-
cant hospital developments for many
years. DR.. j. M. T. Finney has pro-
nounced it the biggest forward-look-
ing constructive hospital project of
the last several decades in the State.
The significance of the move lies in
the possibility of cooperation between
the Women's Hospital and the Union
Memorial Hospital, which should yield
invaluable benefits to patients, the
State, internes and nurses and the
two institutions themselves. DR.. Fin
ney prophesied at recent organiza-
ton meeting that it was tae first step
toward the development of a great
Medical Center in Baltimore.
Building a new Women's Hospital
with the capacity for greater service
and developing new Medical Center
in Baltimore is of direct interest to
everyone in the State Of Maryland,
according to DIR. Edward H. Richard
son, General Chairman of the Cam
paign.
Cared For $4,000 Women
Throughout the half century of its
existence" DR.. Richardson said, "the
Women's Hospital has been giving in
valuable service to the entire State of
Maryland. 1t is the only general hos
pital for women in the State. More
than $4,000 women have come under
its healing care and from twelve to
fifteen thousand of these were Mary
land women outside of Baltimore.
ut has given highly specialized
training to IA internes and 40 resident
physicians in the last half century,
many of whom are practicing in Mary
land communities today. 1t has grad
uated 1874 nurses since the opening of
the training school in 1914, and these
nurses are scattered through the State.
It has afforded opportunities for spe-
cial work, which has aided materially
in the advancement of medical science
in its relation to women"
About $500 volunteer workers are
being organized for the campaign in
Baltimore under Mrs. John w. Mar
shall, Honorary Chairman; DR.. Rich
ardson, General Chairman; Mrs.
Henry Lay Duer, Chairman of the
Women's Committee; Clarence X.
Bowie, Chairman of the Special Gifts

Marshall.
