St. Joseph’s Hospital This institution, erected and maintained by the Sisters of Charity of Mount St. Vincent, was incorporated in 1888, and formally opened to the public on March 19, 1890. It is delightfully situated at the junction of South Broadway and Vark Street, on high ground, overlooking the Hudson and surroundhg country. All its equipments are of the finest and must modern; and what at once strikes the casual visitor is its homelike air of quiet, comfort, and even elegance. The wards are large, sunny, and welt ventilated, having a southern exposure; and the private rooms are all that the most exacting could desire. The operating room and its accessory apartments are provided with all the helps that modern science lends to surgery, including an X–ray apparatus, the gift of the Medical Board. The Hospital receives no outside aid, except an annual grant of $800 from the city, and whatever the charitably disposed, especially the Ladies’ Aid Society, may contribute. The Sisters give theiir services without compensation; otherwise the maintenance of the Hospital would be impossible. Notwithstanding its slender income, no deserving sufferer is ever turned from its doors, and the amount of good accomplished is marvelous. Divine Providence seems to multiply its little store, as of old the widow’s cruse of oil. There are accommodations for 58 patients in the wards, and there are 18 private rooms. During the year ending September 30, 1902, 572 cases were treated at the Hospital, and 264 surgical operations were performed. An ambulance service is maintained, which responded to 191 calls during the same year. For this service the Hospital receives annually from the city $1,000. The St. Joseph’s Hospital Dispensary, opened in 1890, attends yearly to an average of 2,000 cases, and fills about 1,200 prescriptions. The Training School for nurses, inaugurated in 1896, has since graduated 27 young women admirably prepared for their important calling. Altogether this institution is a boon and a blessing to the city of Yonkers. Director: THE MOST REV. JOHN M. FARLEY, D.D., ARCHBISHOP OF NEW YORK. Assistant Director: REV. C. H. CORLEY, M.R.
