Memorial Hospital Receives Commonwealth Fund Grant for Expansion
The Commonwealth Fund board approved a $50 000 project to add a new wing to Memorial Hospital with $25 000 conditional on match and $25 000 unconditional for further plant improvements. Notré Dame Bay residents praise the gift, noting prior support of $50 000, with road upgrades and facilities expansion completed by the fund. The hospital, opened in September 1924, has grown beyond its original 50 beds, now serving about 70 patients and still lacking space.
