The first Workman’s hospital was actually in the upstairs part of a house on Lee Street. It only had two beds, so people that needed surgery had to get it done on the kitchen table at their own home. In 1934, the hospital was moved to Dr. Byron Porter’s house on West Broadway, and they then had four beds. They again ran out of room and moved to a bigger hospital on July 9,1937 when there was six doctors and ten nurses. This new house on High Street allowed them to have five hospital beds, a nursery, and four bassinets. This was because Margaret’s specialty was delivering babies. In 1953, Margaret B. Workman died. The hospital did not shut down, however. It stayed open until 1966, when the hospital was denied Medicare re-certification. After this, the building was sold, torn down, and then rebuilt by the new owner. Shipping SHIPPING INFORMATION: Most orders are shipped within two business days by USPS Mail.
