Burrell did not survive the
operation.
A cottage on North Henry
Street, which had been pur.
chased by five young doctors
and remodeled to lend itself
to the care of the sick, was
given by them to the Burrell
Memorial Hospital Associa-
ton, rent-free, to be operated
as a non-profit institution.
The articles of incorporation
were d IA wn up, without
charge, by the late Col. James
P. Woods, former mayor of
Roanoke and former United
State Congressman from this
district. Col. Woods also
served on our Board of Trus-
tees for a number of years.
Following a favorable re-
port from DR.. Hugh j. Hagan,
Sr., who had been sent to sur
vey the then new Burrell, this
hospital received the endorse
ment of the Roanoke Acade-
my of Medicine and of the
Board of Charities, under the
late DR.. l.. G.. Pedigo.
It's first and only superin-
tendent, up to May 1947, was
your humble servant. It's first
superintendent of nurses, Mrs.
Daisy Schley, r. NJ, is still
active here in community
work. It's second superinten-
dent of nurses, Miss jeanette
MINIS, was one, out of a to-
tai of seven CD Negro Army
nurses in World War 1.
In 1921, permission was
granted by City Council for
Burrell Memorial to remodel
and utilize the then city-own-
ed cold Allegheny Institute"
This was done at a cost of
$25, 100000 then quite. "a
large sum, and included the
first, and still the only, ele-
vator on our side OF town. Eu-
bank and Caldwell did the
planning and necessary con-
| struction.
In 1929, following a survey
made by DR.. Taliferro Clark,
of the United States Public
Health Service, the Rosen-
wald Fund decided to con-
struct a new and larger wing
to help the effort. AS chance
would have it, two weeks be-
fore the fnud's directors met
October, 1929, to give the
green light" to the project,
the great depression fell.
Thus faded a wonderful hope
and dream.
In 1912, when the United
States Government declared
as a special defense zone, a
band, 300 miles inland from
the Atlantic coast, and was
giving aid and constructing
new hospitals, our sister CT
ties of Norfolk and Newport
News each got fine new hos
pital for colored, but our re-
quest for help, here in Roa-
noke, because we had not had
the required influx of war
workers and families, was de-
MED. On the contrary, we had
lost workers to the defense
centers, including many fo1
clerical service in Washing
ton.

Burrell Memorial has beer
progressive. 1t was the first
Negro hospital in Virginia to
win approval of the Ameri-
can College of Surgeons, the
first to have a trained social
worker and trained dietician,
Also the first to be admins
tered by a m. .lber of the
American College of Hospital
Administrators. Burrell was
a charter member of Roanoke
Community Fund, also of Blue
! Cross.
When Burrell was founded,
more than One-half of Roa-
noke's colored babies were be-
ing delivered by mid-wives.
AT the same time, out of more
than LOO white births, only
two were being delivered by
mid-wives. Now, Burrell OPP
crates an excellent prenatal
clinic, and practically 100 per
cent of our babies are being
delivered by good doctors, in
our hospital. 8
Another point, frequently
overlooked, is how Burrell in
fluences the quality of medi-
cal care. The staff require
ments are the same as in all
other approved hospitals. The
doctors must be qualified.
They are required by Staff
Law to keep abreast" with
rapidly advancing m e d C a !
S nee by attending post
graduate courses, conferences
and other accepted lines of
study. Therefore, it is safe
to say that Roanoke's colored
doctors are rendering a SUI
perior grade of service, as
contrasted with communities
! (Lynchburg, for e X a m p Ley
where the Negro physicians
do not have approved hospital
practice opportunities and re-
sponsibilities. n
1t is regrettable that only
20 per cent of our Negro tciti-
zens are protected by Blue
Cross. Between rs and 80 per
cent of our white citizens
have Blue Cross protection.
Since so many of our colored
are in the low income group
of employment, great many
are thrown, by a spell of i'll
ness, over in the medically in
digent class. This puts "a
heavy responsibility upon the
| Community Chest and upon
the Department of P b i C
w ! f a + e, which might be
i g h e n e d considerably by
proper coverage in the Blue
Cross type protection.
What a shame it would be
to have deserving persons of
| color i'll and to have on our
fine hill, a modern, well equip
ped hospital and staff, with
no financial bridge to permit
| them to "get together.
From the beginning, Bur-
rell Memorial attempted to
exercise one of the most i'm
portant functions of a hospi-
tai, a teaching function. A
Training School was orga-
niZed with Mrs. Daisy Schley
as its principal. The Medical
Staff acted as instructors.
The purpose was the training
of practical nurses with the
hope of working up to an &C
credited status for graduate
nurses.
| In 1921, the Nurse Train
| ing School became accredit-
ed by the Virginia State
Board of Nursing Examiners

ance of the 463rd anniversary of

In the Bishops invocation. he
