50 Years Ago

“The hospital that has never lost a patient” will observe its fiftieth anniversary here tomorrow. The Salvation Army Evangeline Booth Home and Hospital has served the commonwealth of Virginia, located in Richmond, Virginia. The hospital boasted a fully equipped delivery room and nursery until 1968 when it was decided to move the girls to the Medical College of Virginia for delivery. But the winds of change have changed the focus of the program, says Major Nelda Stephenson, hospital director. While not abandoning services to unwed mothers, girls will also be served who need more direct supervision and guidance who have issues that need to be addressed more intensively. The Richmond Times-Dispatch (Richmond, Virginia), January 10, 1973.
