Dunbar Memorial Hospital Association was incorporated on the 20th day of May, 1918, under Act No. 171 of the Public Acts of Michigan, entitled, "An act for the incorporation of associations not for pecuniary profit."
The purposes of the Association are to study Sanitation, Hygiene and allied sciences; to maintain a public hospital for the treatment of various diseases, performing surgical operations necessary in the amelioration, eradication and prevention of the ills of humanity; and to maintain a school for the training of nurses.
The Hospital is equipped with 37 beds and one private room, with an operating room supplied with the latest surgical apparatus, enabling the operating physician to perform all classes of operations.
Since opening its doors to the public, Dunbar Hospital has shown remarkable growth. In a few years they have outgrown their original location. This first building is now used exclusively for the care of patients. A newly acquired building just to the left of their first building location houses the office, reception rooms and library, while the upper floors are devoted to quarters for nurses. Since its opening the Hospital has cared for more than 3,000 patients. A nurses' training school is carried on in connection with the work. Twenty-one persons now compose the regular hospital staff. Those most prominently identified with the remarkable progress of Dunbar Hospital are given below.
