Medical Progress in Detroit
In recognition of the dire need of our people for adequate
hospital facilities, our own Dr. Alf E. Thomas, conceived and executed the plans which led to the erection of the Bethesda Hospital in August of 1931 and the Edyth K. Thomas Memorial Hospital in June of 1937.
The side of the former institution is 544 E. Garfield Avenue; as a result of frequent building expansions, the Bethesda Hospital is now well equipped to care for eighty-three patients and is staffed by six physicians headed by Dr. Joe Thomas Jr. and twelve nurses.
...
Dr. Joe T. Thomas Jr., the medical director of this institution has had 7 years extensive training doing special work at Herman Kiefer Hospital in the modern treatment of tuberculosis.
[p.10]
...the indefatigable efforts of Miss Cassie Anderson, Supervisor of nurses and associates.
Edyth K. Thomas Memorial Hospital was founded in June of 1937 and is lovingly dedicated to the memory of Edyth K. Thomass, deceased daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Alf E. Thomas. The institution consists of two buildings and is located at 556 E. Garfield Avenue. - Title
