Abstract
Description
At one time , this hospital complex was the third largest medical facility in the world. The Medical Center was also the pride of the city.
Free health care was available to residents needing care. Reportedly, during the Hague years, the hospital cost $3 million to operate annually, but in a year, such as 1929, it received less than $15,000 in payments. By 1934, 750 employees treated approximately 900 patients daily. On October 2, 1936, the Medical Center Complex was dedicated. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mayor Hague attended the ceremony with a reported crowd of 200,000.
