7. Jefferson Hospital, circa 1930s - A black and white photograph taken in the 1930s of Jefferson Hospital on Franklin Road in Roanoke, Virginia. Dr. Hugh Trout founded the hospital in 1907, and named it after Thomas Jefferson, whom he admired. The hospital structure first accommodated 15 patients and was originally erected as a residential building. In 1908, two well-built houses on Franklin Road were joined together to create the 40-bed hospital. A new charter, dated May 13, 1914, provided for the erection of a new structure and a training school for nurses. This building had three all-brick and fireproof additions and eventually grew to house 151 beds and 15 bassinets. The hospital was later equipped with the first portable telephones, diagnostic x-ray and radiation therapy, a laboratory, cancer clinic and a training program for interns and residents. Between 1914 and 1965, the hospital trained 658 nurses. In the 1930s patients paid $6 a day for a private room or about $35 week. By 1967, the cost had risen to $25-$35 a day for private rooms and the number of patients swelled from 40 to 168. In 1959 it was decided that a new 200-bed hospital was needed to replace Jefferson Hospital but then Lewis-Gale Hospital decided to join the effort to create a new hospital instead of expanding their present facility. So, instead of a 200-bed facility, it was expanded to 400 beds to accommodate the two merging hospitals, which became Community Hospital. Jefferson Hospital was demolished in June 1968, and later the architectural firm of Hayes, Seay, Mattern and Mattern located their new offices at the site on Franklin Road. Jefferson Hospital contributed all of its assets to the new hospital, including about $1 million in property.

10. Jefferson Hospital Nurses' Class of 1936 - A black and white photograph of the Jefferson Hospital nursing class of 1920 taken outside the hospital in Roanoke, Virginia. The Jefferson Hospital's School of Nursing was established in April 1914 under the direction of Miss Frances I. Lusby and her assistant, Miss Ethel Bowen. Except for the year 1915, the school had a graduating class until 1965. The school was closed in 1914 when Dr. Trout and Dr. A. P. Jones entered the Army in World War I. During that time the nurses were transferred to Women's Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland to complete their training and for the duration of the war. The hospital reopened in 1919 and the students returned to graduate from Jefferson Hospital. The school uniform was designed ankle length with a striped dress, a high neck round starched collar and long sleeves with elbow length cuffs, which were removable. A white starched bib uniform was worn over the dress; hose and shoes were black. As the years progressed, about 1926, the collars were designed wider and lower on the dress. The length of the uniform was raised as time passed in keeping with dress styles throughout the country. In the 1940s, the cuffs were made smaller and, about 1950, the sleeves were shortened and the dress had smaller white attachable cuffs. Soon white hose and shoes replaced the black ones. This uniform style continued until the school closed in 1965 to merge with the Lewis-Gale School of Nursing to form the Community Hospital of Roanoke Valley. The school cap was a modification of the design worn at Johns Hopkins Hospital where Dr. Trout had served. The cap was designed of starched light organdy material which had a band of pleats circling the cap. The top section had a high crown which had about 3 pleats stitched in this front top section. This cap was also worn by the senior students as well as after graduation. A plain standard white cap was worn by the freshmen and an emblem J. H. was added to the cap for the junior student. The school pin was designed in gold and blue, which were the official colors of the school. The pin had a large blue cross in the center with Jefferson Hospital School of Nursing printed on its center. The outer edge was circled in a laurel wreath design of gold. During the early development of the school, the pin was smaller and carried the date of graduation on the front.

16. Lewis-Gale Nursing Graduates, Class of 1927 - A black and white photograph of the Lewis-Gale School of Nursing Graduating Class of 1927 in Roanoke, Virginia. The graduates were: Ivy (Mays) Ball; Ola (Blankenship) Clarkson; Alma (McManaway) Dillon; Georgia (Files) Hale; Evelyn (Gillenwater) Manley; Clytie (Jamison) Naff; and Thelma (Harless) Stanley. This photograph appears to be a duplicate of the photograph in Object ID 1990.69.754. Lewis-Gale School of Nursing was established in 1911 in Roanoke, Virginia. Miss S. Virginia Thacker was chosen as Director of the school as well as Director of the hospital's nursing services. The three-year program included theory and clinical experience, as recommended by the National League for Nursing. It was continuously approved by the Virginia State Board of Nursing Examiners. In 1966 it merged with the Jefferson Hospital School of Nursing to become the Community Hospital of Roanoke Valley School of Nursing. The Lewis-Gale faculty grew until at the time of its merger there were eight full-time instructors and four part-time instructors, in addition to the director of the school. The "Objectives and Philosophy" of the nursing school was consistent throughout the school's 56-year history, which was: "The art of nursing is the fulfillment of a service ideal as old as recorded history. Using techniques cooperatively with other health and social disciplines it should be as modern as today's scientific discoveries." Miss Anna Hankins Flood was the first person to receive a diploma from the school in 1913. The school was financed and controlled by the Board of Directors of the hospital acting through the hospital administrator. Throughout its history the school used affiliates as a means of broadening and varying the student nurses' training. Dormitories for student nurses were in homes rented or owned by the hospital in the immediate vicinity of the hospital. A small tuition for the three-year program was charged, but it actually covered only the cost of uniforms, textbooks, testing and counseling services and Blue Cross hospitalization premiums.
