THE FIRST ANNUAL REPORT OF THE McDONOUGH MEMORIAL HOSPITAL,

(439 West 41st Street,)IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK,For the Year Ending January 12th, 1899.To the McDonough Memorial Hospital Association; To the Churches, and to the public:By the grace of God and your sympathy and generous help, we are able to make our First Annual Report.

The McDonough Memorial Hospital was opened to the public on the twelfth day of January, 1898. It is in the very center of "Little Africa." Although the Hospital is "non-racial and non-sectarian," yet by far the largest percentage of its patients are of African descent.

The Hospital opens two new fields. The one is a Hospital in which physicians, regardless of nationality, creed or color, can have clinical practice; the other is a training school in which our colored girls can learn to be professional nurses.

The McDonough Memorial Hospital was established to afford medical and surgical aid and nursing to sick and disabled persons of every creed, nationality and color.

During the past year we have treated both in the Indoor and Outdoor Departments, persons of all nationalities.

Our entire Attending and Consulting Staff have used the greatest skill, and the percentage of deaths is very low.

We treated in the Indoor department during the year 105 patients, and in the Outdoor department 425.

001819

We have received from all sources, in money, groceries and other articles, $4,594.90.

Our Training School has been organized. We have three students and numerous applications, but cannot admit any others for lack of accommodations.

We are very grateful to our many friends for their financial and moral support, which they have so willingly given us.

But for the generous gift of $500 of Mrs. George Lewis, Jr., we could not have opened the Hospital.

Special mention should be made also of these generous donors: Mr. Frederick Vanderbilt, per Dr. Clement Cleveland, $1,050 toward fitting up the operating room; Mrs. Oakman, per the Rev. Dr. Terry, $100; Mr. John S. Kennedy., per Mr. Toombs, $100; Mrs. George Lewis, Jr.., per Mr. A. J. Campbell, $100, and many other minor gifts for which we are grateful.

The Woman's Auxiliary, of which Mrs. Wm. M. Lively, "The Angel of Mercy," as the patients call her, has done invaluable work and added very materially to the treasury of the Hospital.

The Auxiliary of St. Mark's M.E. Church has been very much interested in the Hospital and turned over to the Board of Directors $138.70 for the Hospital.

All of the colored churches are in sympathy with the Institution, and most of them have contributed to its support both in money and material.

To all who have given so liberally of their means and goods the Board of Directors returns its heartful tanks.

The Board would call attention to some of our imperative needs. We need a suitable building for the Hospital and Training School, which will cost about $50,000. We need five hundred (500) annual subscribers at $5.00 each We need six endowed beds at $5,000.

With the hope that a generous public will give liberally of their means, we submit this report.P. Butler Thompkins,Chas. F. RunkelPresident of Board.Secretary.

REPORT OF THE MEDICAL AND SURGICAL DEPARTMENT.In presenting to the Board of Directors the First Annual Report of the work of the Medical and Surgical Departments of the McDonough Memorial Hospital, I can, on behalf of my colleagues who compose the House Staff, but inadequately express the deep sense of my gratitude for the large measure of popular encouragement and generous support with which the Institution has been fortunately favored. The appreciative advantage which a very large proportion of the public has taken of the benefits of Institution has been the means of demonstrating its capabilities, such as mere financial support could not have done. This has materially contributed to the removal of that apprehension the Staff might have entertained toward the existence of a hospital in the interest of the colored people, as the establishment of the Institution was an innovation, and naturally caused us much anxiety--arising mainly from a division of opinion respecting the welcome and appreciation it would receive. It is a source of peculiar pleasure to me to state that the interest manifested by the public in the welfare of the Institution has exceeded our highest expectation, and public confidence and appreciation have materially assisted us in extending the area of our work and in bringing the Institution up to its present standard of development. The Institution owes a debt of lasting gratitude to its generous benefactors for their liberal and munificent gifts to the Medical and Surgical Department, which have facilitated our work and enabled us us to obtain the creditable results recorded in this report.

Chief among the gifts must be mentioned a complete and excellent outfit of sterilizers and other numerous modern surgical instruments and appliances for the operating department, at an outlay of $1,050.00, presented by Mr. Frederick Vanderbilt, through our good 002021friend, Dr. Clement Cleveland. By means of these appliances and conveniences, the Institution has been brought up to the standard of modern requirements, and they have enabled it to take its place among the recognized hospitals of the city. It is generally conceded by the friends of the Institution that its advent has proved a veritable boon to the colored people, in the opportunities and advantages it vouchsafes to put within their reach, as well as by the benefits it has already actually conferred.

The employment of our girls as nurses is a conspicuous benefit, which is among the valuable services it is rendering, and we hope to make our training school for nurses one of the prominent features, and with it we shall be in a position to fill one of the chief purposes for which the Institution has been established. I am glad to state that our prospects in this regard are very encouraging, and we are very sanguine that the sane public interest and generosity which have assisted us in reaching our present standard as a hospital will not be lacking to make this branch of our work an early realization.

We are thoroughly convinced by the work already accomplished, as well as by the general development of the Hospital, that it is destined to occupy a very unique place among the kindred institutions of this city, in that it affords to the colored people the only opportunity to be followed and treated by physicians of their own race, when hospital treatment becomes a necessity. The Hospital is superlatively fortunate in having on the consulting staff an array of talent of national frame. The devoted co-operation of these eminent consultants, and their prompt and hearty response to our calls may be regarded as an assurance from them of its usefulness and demonstrates the conspicuous necessity of an institution whose special object is to train colored girls for sick nursing, to subserve the interest of the colored people and their physicians by enlarging the bounds of the opportunities and facilities in medicine and surgery, and for the proper hospital care and treatment of their patients. Such a worthy and noble purpose cannot but 002122successfully appeal to the colored people's friends and benefactors, whose humanitarianism prompts them to lend their moral and material support to to any movement tending to their advancement.

It is pleasant to state that during the period when our troops were returning from the hills of Santiago, several members of the 9th, 10th and 24th United States Regulars were admitted and treated for enteric troubles, they were all discharged benefited or cured. We therefore feel proud of having the privilege of contributing some aid of our Government during the war with Spain.

It is but simple justice to state at this time, that the interest and material aid given by our pioneer nurses, Misses Shorter and Fairfax, in their indefatigable care for those under their charge, has enabled us to count so many successful cases, particularly where operations have been performed. Their interest in this work has soared above self and subordinated opportunities for gaining an easier and more lucrative employment. It may be of some interest to note, in looking over the surgical cases, some necessitating capital operations. We lost out of some 60 operations one patient, and in calling attention to this fact, I cannot refrain from expressing our deep gratitude to Dr. Clement Cleveland and J. Dougall Bissell for the many sacrifices they must have made so that they could do successfully the delicate operations in their special work for us, as recorded in this report.

Dr. Wm. T. Bull and Dr. John B. Walker have given us every aid in managing our general surgical work. To the consulting and attending surgeons, to the attending staff of physicians and nurses, who have been untiring in their care for the comfort of patients, credit must be given for the success we have achieved during the past year. Respectfully submitted.P. A. JOHNSON, M. D.,Chief to Staff.

To the Board of Directors :When, as Chairman of the Committee, I accepted the responsibility of formulating plans, rules and regulations to govern the McDonough Memorial Hospital and the laying out of a course of instruction in the training school connected with it, that would so prepare young women to perform the duties of nurses at the bedside or in the field, I was not unmindful of the fact that a novelty of such a nature would be looked upon with adverse criticism by some, but remembering the heterogeneous population comprising the Greater New York that the colored girls alone on account of race prejudice are ostracized from other training schools here, (until recently the Colored Home following our lead, but having more money have a training school in operation) I realized that the McDonough Memorial Hospital Training School for Nurses would be appreciated as a boon by the majority for the employment of such as were qualified for the study leading up to the performance of such humane duties.

If, in comparison to the curriculum laid down by other training schools for nurses, the one I herein transmit is more far reaching as to stated studies and the ground to cover greater in the two years specified, it is because of my belief that at the present advancement of medical science in its entirety, a thorough knowledge of certain things heretofore only touched upon in the training of nurses is requisite in order that the diagnosis having once been made by the medical attendant, the treatment can be carried on in its every detail, and the practitioner in leaving his patient in the care of a professional nurse, can dismiss such case from his mind for the time being with confidence. Furthermore, I know that our graduates on leaving the school will be called in divers paths of usefulness, will come in contact with competitors in every path they tread, and the erring on the side of credit will redound to them and the Institution greater than should it fall to the debit side.

In raising the standard of entrance examination I have tried to offset it by the age limitation, so should any 002930woman with the desire of entering this school, and especially if possessing the temper and temperament, be deficient in preliminary studies she will have ample time for preparation.

Instruction beside that at the bedside will be given by lectures and recitations.

At each annual or other examination of pupils in the training school, 75 per cent. must be reached on every subject in order to allow such pupil to continue in her respective class.

TO THE PUBLIC:In offering the Treasurer's Report of McDonough Memorial Hospital for the year ending 1899, I desire to return my very sincere thanks to the generous public for their hearty cooperation, and philanthropy in assisting us in our most praiseworthy cause. Although the Hospital has been in existence only two years, still it has proved a very great blessing to the deserving poor of our race, and with a very limited amount of means, has been able to give them much comfort and relief. We are still in a stage of great financial embarrassment, and appeal to the same generous public to further aid us. Trusting therefore, that it will continue to be as generous in the future as it has in the past, and with the assurance that we will advance the great and good work thus begun.

I remain,Very truly yours,Wm. M. LIVELY, M.D.Treas. McDonough Memorial Hospital
