Hospital Owned Run By Women At 50 Year Mark
NEW ORLEANS A hospital founded and run by women marks its 50th anniversary. The Sara Mayo Hospital serves women and children and admits men only as outpatients, unique in the South and one of five in the United States. Eight women founders opened a free dispensary in 1905, later becoming a full hospital named for Dr. Sara Mayo. The institution has 64 beds and remains a leading obstetrics center while producing women physicians through residencies.
