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.
