WHITE HOSPITAL

 

 

      WHITE HOSPITAL--Among the prominent and helpful institutions of Sacramento the White Hospital located at Twenty-ninth and J Streets is doing an outstanding work among the afflicted of the capital city. This institution was founded January 12, 1910, by the late Dr. John L. White, a prominent and successful physician and surgeon. The main building was erected in 1910 and accommodated fifty patients; one year later the annex was built, and eighty-five patients can be properly cared for. Dr. White passed away in March, 1917, and three years later the hospital was incorporated with Mrs. Camille P. White, the widow of Dr. White, as president and Miss Florence Klaeser, secretary and manager. The hospital serves the city of Sacramento and surrounding sections of the county; a school for nurses is carried on and everything is done for the best possible training of the student nurses. The buildings are finely equipped in every detail and the location of the hospital is conducive to the well-being of the patients within its walls.
