Originally known as Protestant Hospital, it was incorporated on December 12, 1918, by L.A Bowers, Leslie Creek, E.B. Craig, R.M. Dudley and John A. Pitts.</p><p>The 10-and-a-half-acre plot bought from the Murphy estate consisted of two adjoining city blocks, bounded by four city streets: Patterson Street on the north, Church Street on the south, 20th Avenue on the east and 21st Avenue on the west. There were two buildings – one became the hospital and one became the dormitory for the School of Nursing.</p><p>On March 20, 1919, Protestant Hospital opened its doors. It was equipped with 80 beds and a fully equipped surgical department. In the first year alone, 2,233 patients were treated; 1,685 of them had major surgery. Gladys Kilby was the first patient admitted and gave birth to a baby girl, Anita Kilby Lewis.</p>
