Moore Hospital’s
30th Anniversary

November 25, 1929;
Progress Reviewed
About 2,400 copies of a 20-page,
illustrated brochure, “Three Dec
ades of Progress-Growth-Serv
ice,” were mailed out this week
to residents of this area, marking
the 30th anniversary of the open
ing of Moore Memorial Hospital
(then Moore County Hospital)
November 25, 1929.
A report of exceptional re
sponse in . the “Neighbor Aid”
fund campaign recently begun by
the hospital in connection with
its 30th anniversary was made
this week.
Some $4,000 had been contrib
uted early this week, in addition
to some gifts of securities from
which the income is to be used
for the special fund.
Neighbor Aid contributions
will be used to help defray medi
cal expenses of patients unable
to meet regular or exceptionally
high hospital bills—not only
fharity patients but persons with
little income who otherwise
would be unable to pay bills for
hospital care.
The •■‘Three Decades” brochure
expresses appreciation for all
past generosity to the hospital
and solicits continued financial
support from the people of this
area. A form is provided at the
end of the brochure for earmark
ing contributions to the Neigh
bor Aid Fund, the Plant Fund
or the Endowment Fund, all of
which are explained in the book
let. There is also a form to be
signed by persons wishing to
make a bequest to the hospital.
The handsome brochure is il
lustrated with photographs by
John Hemm.er, showing stages in
the growth of the building—
whose capacity has risen from
33 to 120 patients—^present and
past officers and directors, medi
cal and department staffs and
scenes in the building.
Total openating expenses in the
first full year of operation were
$53,215.53, as compared with
$826,956 for the last fiscal year.
