THE THIRTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

OF THE

BOARD OF MANAGERS

OF

ST. LUKE’S HOSPITAL, NEW YORK.

FROM

September 30, 1896, to September 30, 1897.

We present herewith the report of the first year of work in the new Hospital buildings. The result has been gratifying, both in the volume and the quality of the service accomplished. Seventy-eight thousand three hundred and ten days of Hospital treatment have been given to 2,444 patients. It was feared that the removal to the new site, which is fully three miles further up-town than the old location on 54th Street, would seriously interfere, at least for a time, with the Hospital service. The result has not justified this fear.

The work of the past year is larger by 2,289 days than that of any previous year in the history of the institution, and will doubtless expand in proportion to the means provided for opening more wards, as there are wards in the present build- ings which lack of means has restrained the Management from opening. 9 IO

The Medical Staff, without a single resignation, have followed the Hospital to its new location, and their daily visits and faithful labors have maintained the professional work at the highest standard of scientific efficiency. The buildings are admirably adapted to the purpose for which they were designed. Visitors from this and from foreign lands not only express their admiration for the beauty of the exterior, but their astonishment at the variety of industries neces- sary in a modern hospital, while experts in hospital construction have given unstinted praise of the adequate equipment of all the departments for convenient work. One surgeon, a Cuban, having been shown over the Hospital, inquired the proportion of charity patients, and when told that they were over 70 per cent, of the whole number treated, and being further in- formed that the work was supported by private beneficence, “ he exclaimed : A country which has such charities will never die!” One of the many gratifying indications of public interest and civic pride in the institution is found in the fact that the Ameri- can Numismatic and Archaeological Society caused a medal to be made commemorative of the opening of the new Hospital buildings on Cathedral Heights, and also in memory of the founder of the Hospital, Rev. William Augustus Muhlen- berg, D.D. Copies of this medal were graciously presented by a Committee of the above named Society at a meeting of the Managers held December 28, 1896, and an illustration of it appears on the fly leaf of the Annual Report. A protective association of property owners has been formed to preserve, as far as practicable, the plateau occupied by the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the , Barnard College, the Teachers’ College, St. Luke’s Hospital, and other public buildings, from uses which would interfere with the educational and charitable work of these institutions. Inquiry has often been made as to the cost of the new build- ings of St. Luke’s Hospital. A report made by the Building Committee, which completed its labors September 27, 1897, stated that cost to be $1,749,605.08, which, added to $530,000, the cost of the land, makes a total outlay of $2,279,605.08. Four of the lots on Fifth Avenue, and three on 55th Street, a part of the old Hospital property, still remain to be sold.

The sale of these remaining lots will, it is believed, fulfil the expectations awakened by the address of the President of the Board of Managers at the laying of the corner-stone of the Hos- pital in 1893, in giving to the Corporation a new, substantial, and admirably equipped institution, and in adding $200,000 to the income-producing capital toward the support of its increas- ing charity work.

On November 4, 1896, the Out-Patient or Dispensary De- partment was opened. The Medical Division was placed in charge of Dr. George A. Spalding, ad interim attending phy- sician of the Hospital Staff, with Dr. Austin W. Hollis as assist- ant. The Surgical Division was organized under Dr. Joseph A. Blake, ad interim attending surgeon of the Hospital, with the following assistants : Dr. Louis I. Mason, and Dr. William S. Thomas. The work grew so rapidly that the following additional ap- pointments were made: Dr. Frederick P. Solley, medical assistant, Dr. Francis C. Wood, surgical assistant.

A new division was opened on June 1, 1897, by the appoint- ment of Dr. John V. D. Young, as gynecologist. The book-keeping and nursing of the department was placed in charge of a graduate of the Training School for Nurses.

The work is well done, is steadily increasing, and is evidently appreciated by the deserving poor of the neighborhood for whom it was designed.

The utmost care is taken to keep this department from being used by those who are able to provide themselves with medi- cal or surgical relief outside of the Hospital, and a very large proportion of those whose cases have been personally investi- gated have been found worthy recipients of the charity. The statistics of the department will be found in the Superinten- dent’s report. :

12

The need of a special endowment fund for the Pathological Department, so earnestly presented in the last Annual Report, is still felt. The building is erected, but until special means are provided for its maintenance, the Managers are obliged to provide for the scientific investigations which it was intended to carry on there, as best they can, outside of the institution. The growing demand upon the Hospital from Church people and others who desire treatment in private rooms, for which they are willing to pay, and the fact that the rooms now used for that purpose in the Nurses’ Home are required for the use for which they were originally designed, has caused the Board of Managers to consider the expediency of erecting, in the near future, a building especially designed and adapted to the use of private patients. The gifts received during the year are as follows

One room endowed in perpetuity by the Very Rev. E. A. Hoff- man, D.D., for the use of the clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church, (special arrangement) $15,000 00 One bed endowed in perpetuity by Mr. Buchanan Winthrop in memory of his father, Henry Rogers Winthrop 5,000 00 One bed endowed in perpetuity by Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Van- derbilt, in memory of their son, William Henry Vander- bilt, Jr 5,000 00 One bed endowed in perpetuity by Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt in memory of his mother, Maria Louisa Vanderbilt 5,000 00 One bed endowed in perpetuity in the Children’s Ward by Mrs. H. McK. Twombly in memory of her daughter, Alice Twombly 3,000 00 One bed endowed in perpetuity in the Children’s Ward by Mr. and Mrs. David B. Ogden in memory of their son, Gouv- erneur Morris Ogden 3,000 00 One bed endowed in perpetuity by Mr. , Mr. George Denison Morgan, and Miss Caroline Lucy Mor-

gan, in memory of their mother, Sarah Spencer Morgan . 5,000 00 . One bed endowed in perpetuity in the Children’s Ward by be- quest of Charlotte A. Hamilton in memory of her mother, Maria Eliza Hamilton 3,000 00 One bed endowed in perpetuity by Mr. H. C. von Post in mem- ory of his wife, Jane S. von Post 5,000 00 Additional payment on bed perpetually endowed by Mrs. Chris- tine K. Griffin on March 28, 1865 2,000 00 From the Executors of the estate of Mary A. Livingston 5,000 00 From the Executors of the estate of William Smith Brown, first payment on account of endowment of bed 2,500 00 From the Executors of the estate of Daniel Fayerweather, bal- ance of legacy with interest 1,648 68 From the Executors of the estate of Rufus Waterhouse, through the House of Rest for Consumptives 15,000 00 From the Executors of the estate of Augustus Cleveland, who died March, 1878, payable on the death of his wife, Maria E. Cleveland, who died March, 1897 5,000 00

The Treasurer’s report on page 15 shows that for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1897, there was a deficiency of in- come as against expenses, of $57,499.25. The income certainly will be increased when the remaining lots of the old site are sold, and the result added to the present income-producing capital, but, even then it will be very far short of what is neces- sary to support the work of the institution, even restricted to its present volume. The Century Fund, an account of which will be found on page 17, presents yearly an attractive method of aiding in the support of the institution, but, as a means of enabling the many friends who are unable to contribute $100 yearly, but who still desire to co-operate in this work of charity, a Susten- tation Fund (as will be seen on page 22) has been provided, to which donations from ten dollars upward are solicited. The response to the first year’s appeal encourages the Managers

to believe that it will yearly become a more important factor in the receipts of the Hospital. George Macculloch Miller, President.

16 CENTURY FUND.

The “Century Fund” of St. Luke’s was inaugurated by Dr. Muhlenberg as a yearly subscription by roo persons of $100 each toward supplying the difference between the annual expenses of the

Hospital and its income. For a time this Century Fund was main- tained at its full number and amount, but through the death of original subscribers, and from an impression which is abroad that, St.

Luke’s income from endowment having increased, there is not the same need for these contributions, the number of subscribers has gradually diminished. The income, however, has not grown as fast as the expenses; partly because of the steady increase in the propor- tion of patients with acute diseases and of applicants for free treat- ment, partly because the wards of the Hospital which are opened for patients are kept more continuously full.

The work of the Hospital for the past year is found on page 35. The relation of the receipts to the expenditures is found in the

Treasurer’s Report, page 15. The number of subscribers last year was 84.

A subscription for the current year carries with it no obligation for the next. Subscriptions should be sent to the Treasurer. SCHEDULE B.

ON THE

TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES.

With the efficient help of Mrs. Quintard, the Directress of Nurses, the Training School has been carried safely through the trials incident to the removal and settlement of the patients in the new buildings, and the educational work has been carried on steadily and efficiently. Owing to the growth of the Hospital service, and the opening of new departments, a greater variety of experience than ever before is afforded to the nurses. Each pupil during her service has opportunity for practical work in the medical, surgical, children’s and phthisis wards, in the operating room, the out-pa- tient department, on day and on night duty, and on duty with ward, and with private, patients. Besides this, she is sent for training in obstetrical nursing for three months to the Sloane Maternity Hospital. Miss Charlotte Edythe Thompson, who served most acceptably as Assistant Directress of Nurses, resigned her position October

i, 1896, on account of ill health, and was, on October 20, 1896, succeeded in her office by Miss Mary A. Mitchell, also a gradu- ate, in 1893, of this Training School, who has well fulfilled the varied responsibilities with which she is intrusted. Miss Mitch- ell assists Mrs. Quintard in the instruction of the junior pupils, in keeping the books of the department, and in the general su- pervision of the ward work.

Other graduates of this Training School fill important posi-

tions in the School :

Miss Frances G. Edman, class of 1890, is Head Nurse of the Private Pa- tients’ Department. 26 2 7

is in service in the Miss Emma J. Lawrence, class of 1895, charge of the Out-Patient Department. Miss Mary K. Smith, class of 1896, is Head Nurse in the Operating De- partment. Miss Maud L. Jarvis, class of 1897, is Head Night Nurse. Miss Mary L. Kleinhans, graduate of the Post-Graduate Hospital School, class of 1890, who has been for many years in charge of one of the phthisis wards, has now been promoted to the charge of the Phthisis Department.

On August 20, 1897, the last of the pupils graduated who en- tered the School for a two years’ course. All the pupils remain- ing were received for three years, and therefore no more will graduate for another year. Henceforth, during the last six months of their training, those pupils who have shown most aptitude for the several places of responsibility will be selected to the honorable position of Head Nurses of Wards, that they may still further develop their execu- tive and teaching ability, and manifest their fitness for institu- tional work.

The School now numbers 64 pupils and 5 probationers, while the names of 29 accepted candidates are, on September 30, 1897, on the list awaiting call for duty. As the privileges of the School are multiplied, a higher stand-

ard of work is expected, and greater strictness prevails in the class-room, in the professional examinations, and in the practi- cal work of the wards. As a consequence of this, a larger num- ber than usual have been dropped the past year during their

probation, and it has been necessary to impress upon the pupils that their continuance in the School, and their graduation from

it, depends upon their steady faithfulness to appointed trusts. This, however, has resulted in a perceptible improvement in the personnel and efficiency of the school. The health of the pupils has been excellent the past year, and it is a remarkable fact, in which we recognize God’s protecting hand, that since the opening of the Training School in 1888, among the pupils and the graduates but one death has occurred. The following outline of class-work for the three years’

course is established : :

A copy of Dr. Ball’s lecture on the “ Duties and Conduct of Nurses in Private Nursing” will be given to each graduate.

The past year 17 nurses have graduated, and all have found immediate employment, either in institutions or in private nurs- ing. During the year the graduates have formed an Alumnae Asso- ciation, which meets at stated times at the Hospital, “ to pro- 30 mote the interests of St. Luke’s Hospital Training School, to raise the standard of nursing generally, to cultivate social inter- course among the Alumnae, and to establish a fund for the ben- efit of sick nurses.” Copies of the Constitution and By-laws of this Alumnae As- sociation may be had by applying to the Secretary, Miss Mary A. Mitchell, at the Hospital. It has been found impracticable to maintain a registry for nurses in the present location of the Hospital. The addresses of the graduates who are engaged in private nursing are gener- ally known to the doctors of the staff. Many of them in this city are settled in groups, and can be found when needed at No. West 45th Street —telephone address, 38th Street at No. 154 659 ; 12 West 65th Street—telephone address, 705 Columbus Avenue; at No. 33 West 63d Street—-telephone address, 328 Columbus Avenue. The addresses of others living at their own homes can be found on application at the Hospital. The general spirit of the School is excellent, and many are the encomiums heard from the patients after they have left the Hos- pital, of the faithfulness of the nurses, and of the sympathy and kindness of their ministrations.

The Hospital owns two ambulances. Owing to the expense already incurred in other departments, and the fact that the wards which have been opened are kept full of patients, the Man- agers have seen fit to postpone the equipment and organization 38 of the Ambulance Department. Drivers and horses are hired, as they are needed, from a neighboring stable to bring appli- cants who are seriously ill to the Hospital. To cover the ex- pense thus incurred, a charge is made for the use of the ambu- lance. The amount spent for this purpose the past year was $149.25, the amount received was $170.50.

Net cost of 73,348 days’ treatment of ward patients. $129,897 20

Divide this net cost of $129,897.20, by 73,348, the number of days’ treatment of ward patients, equals $1.77 plus, which is the per capita per diem cost of each ward patient.

On page 24 it will be seen that the total amount received for patients in private rooms for the year was $17,506 15 Deduct cost of 4,962 days’ treatment of patients in private rooms at $3 each per day 14,886 00

Total daily average of inmates 458

The total cost of food supplies for the year was $48,673.04. Multiply the average daily number of inmates, 458, by 365, the number of days of the year, equals 167,170. Divide $48,673.04 by 167,170, equals the daily cost per capita of food supplies for inmates, 29 cents plus.

Omitting income on cost of buildings, the actual cost for board and living expenses of each inmate is estimated at 50 cents each per day.

The religious services have been regularly maintained. A short service is held daily, in the morning, in each ward of the Hospital, while Evening Prayer is offered each week-day in the

Chapel, at 6 p.m. On the Lord’s Day, public worship is held in the Chapel at 10:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. On the third Sunday of 46 each month, early Communion is celebrated there at 6 a.m. for the benefit of the workers who are engaged during the day in the wards. On the last Sunday of each month a course of re- ligious instruction is given to the nurses, suited to their special needs. Among the most effective services for good are the succes- sion of Communions held in rotation in each ward of the Hospital. By this means each communicant, although confined to his bed by sickness, is able to receive the Blessed Sacrament at least once in a month. The Chaplain sees each patient individually duringhis sojourn in the Hospital, and endeavors to influence him for good.

The statistics of pastoral work for the year are as follows :

Baptized 19 Confirmed 53 Marriages 2

Funerals 95

Holy Communion :

In Chapel 31 times “ In Wards 84 “ In Extremis.... 54

In the last annual report I called attention to the need of a small fund for yearly replacing worn-out volumes in the General Library for the patients, and also a fund for purchasing books for the Nurses’ Library and for the Medical Library of the Hos- pital. I am glad to report that during the year I received $100 for the Nurses’ Library, which has added many reference books which are of great use in their education.

I would again call attention to the need of some fund for the purchase of professional books and periodicals for the Medical Library of the Hospital, and of a fund for the General Library for patients. This latter is quite thoroughly used and appre- ciated by convalescents. It is kept in good order, and the books are distributed by a Librarian, who works under the direction of the Chaplain, but many of the most popular books are old,, and need to be replaced. 47

Besides the above, I received from the Havens Relief Fund

$280, out of which, to September 30, 1897, I dispensed $201.50. I also received a special gift of $250 from Mr. Gordon Norrie toward furnishing the parlor of the Nurses’ Home. A beautiful embroidered silk altar cloth and book marks were also made for the Chapel, and presented on Whitsunday by the ladies of the circle of the King’s Daughters connected with the Church of Zion and St. Timothy. We wish to acknowledge the pleasure which was given to the 48 sick children under our care, by a day’s excursion during the summer, on the Floating Hospital. We gratefully recognize the spirit of loyal helpfulness which has characterized the service of the heads of departments, and of the various workers, which has done much to lighten the bur- den of care which necessarily must be borne by the responsible head of so large an institution.

The Board of Managers of St. Luke’s Hospital, New York, are prepared to give a three years’ course of training to women desirous of becoming pro- fessional nurses.

As St. Luke’s Hospital is distinctively a Church Hospital, and managed by members of the Protestant Episcopal Church, it is essential that all of its workers should be in sympathy with its Christian character.

This announcement is made that there may be no misunderstanding on the part of applicants for the benefits of the Training School for Nurses, as preference will be given to those who are in full accord with the rules, meth- ods, and work established in this Hospital. Those wishing to receive the course of instruction offered here must apply to the Pastor and Superintendent of the Hospital.

The following information is furnished to candidates desiring admission to the Training School. Candidates must be from twenty-three to thirty-three years of age. They must be in sound health, and must send, with their application, a certificate physician testifying to this fact also certificates or more from a ; from one responsible persons as to their character. These certificates may be ad- dressed “ To whom it may concern,” but the original certificates (and not copies) must be forwarded, with a letter in the handwriting of the applicant. A limited number only can be received. The rejection, therefore, of a candidate is no reflection upon the individual’s character, neither does it prove her to be disqualified for the work of nursing in other places. The rea- sons for rejection are not given, neither are letters addressed personally to the authorities of the School returned.

Candidates for probation are not received in classes, but individually, as the work of the Hospital requires. Classes are formed at the convenience of the School. The names of accepted candidates are placed in order on a “ waiting list,” to be called for duty as the needs of the Hospital require. When called, they are expected to report promptly and to bring with them the means of returning to their homes, should they not successfully pass the probationary term. Any change of plan or of address on the part of a candidate, whose name is on the waiting list, should be immediately reported to the authorities of the School. 1 14 ;

When probationers come to the Hospital, they should bring with them the

following articles : Boots fitted to support the arch, and at least one inch white longer than the foot ; three dresses (gingham or calico) ; six large aprons (bleached cotton) plainly made; a good supply of plain underclothing; ball. Each article two bags for soiled clothes ; one pair of scissors, and a pin of clothing must be indelibly marked with the owner’s name.

If the teeth are out of order they must receive attention before coming for the probationary term. Probationers are boarded, lodged, and have their laundry work done at the Hospital. They receive no other compensation. Twenty-four pieces are allowed for the laundry each week. Each probationer who passes successfully through two months of trial will then be admitted to the School, and will go on at once with the prescribed course of training. Pupil nurses at the time of admission to the School are required to sign a written agreement to remain in the School for three years, and to conform to the rules. The Pastor and Superintendent of the Hospital has charge of the Training School, assisted by the Directress of Nurses, and the nurses are subject to the rules of the Institution. Their fitness for the work and the propriety of retaining or dismissing them at the end of the months of trial are determined by the Pastor and Superintendent, who can in like manner dismiss them at any time in case of misconduct or inefficiency. The nurses reside in the

Hospital and serve as assistants in its wards. All nurses are required to be sober, honest, truthful, trustworthy, punctual, quiet, orderly, cleanly, neat, patient, kind, cheerful, and obedient to rules.

Hours of are staff, P.M. to duty from 7:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. ; night 7:30

A.M. Leisure hours : afternoon, 2 to hours daily Sunday, 7 One 8 P.M. ; two ; four hours. Pupils are required to wear the Training School uniform while on duty after they join the School. Material for dresses will be sold at cost price caps are furnished free of charge.

Three weeks’ vacation is allowed each year. If pupils are sick they are cared for in the wards of the Hospital, but the monthly allowance is stopped. They may be called upon for day or night duty, or for care of private patients in the Hospital, according to the requirements of the work.

The instruction is given mainly by the Directress of Nurses, by her Assis- tant and by the head nurses of the different departments. Lectures by phy- sicians and surgeons, and recitations, take place at stated periods. Ex- aminations by a Committee of the Medical Board, chiefly upon practical points, are held about June 1st and November 1st of each year. The religious services of the Hospital are according to the rites of the Prot" —

ii 6

estant Episcopal Church, and the pupils of the School are expected to attend

these services regularly. A special course of religious instruction is given each term by the Pastor and Superintendent.

COURSE OF TRAINING.

The instruction includes

1. The dressing of blisters and burns, applying fomentations, poultices, etc.

2. Cupping, leeching, and subsequent treatment.

3. The administering of enemata and use of female catheter.

4. Management of helpless patients ; moving, changing bed and body-linen, giving baths, preventing and dressing bed-sores, and feeding.

5. Antiseptic treatment of wounds. 6. Bandaging, making bandages, covering splints, etc.

7. Cooking, preparing, and serving appropriate food and delicacies for the sick.

8. Massage.

9. Emergencies and how to meet them. Instruction is given in ventilation and in the proper care of sick rooms and

utensils ; also in accurate observation of the sick in regard to the state of the excretions, expectorations, pulse, temperature, respiration, action of the skin, eruptions, sleep, mental condition, condition of wounds, appetite, effect of diet, stimulants, medicines, and management of convalescents.

Opportunity is given for training in obstetrical nursing at the “ Sloane Ma- ternity Hospital.” Lessons in massage are given by a competent masseuse. The pupils are employed as assistant nurses in the wards of the Hospital, and they receive ten dollars ($10) per month during their whole course for uniform and personal expenses. It is considered that the education given

during the course is a full equivalent for services rendered.

When the full term of three years is completed, and the pupils are regarded

as thoroughly qualified, they receive, if their conduct and examinations have been satisfactory, diplomas certifying to that fact, after which they are at liberty to choose their own field of labor.

The right is reserved by the Pastor and Superintendent to terminate the connection of any nurse or pupil with the School for reasons which may be deemed sufficient.

Each graduate is expected to notify the Pastor and Superintendent, before the 1st of October yearly, of her residence, that her name and occupation may be correctly stated in the list of graduates, and that she may receive a copy of the annual report of the Hospital. ADMISSION OF PATIENTS.

4. No patient may purchase, or procure any member of the household to purchase for him, any articles whatsoever without leave to that effect.
