STERLING HOSPITAL TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSING (Closed) STERLING HOSPITAL, STERLING This hospital was founded in 1902 by five Sterling doctors P. P. Trueheart, M. Van Patten, W. C. Burden, H. R. Ross, and W. E. Currie. They provided funds for the building and its maintenance until the in- stitution could arrive at a paying basis. Some years later the Sterling Hospital Association was created, and now controls the hospital, which has 20 beds and 5 bassinets. At the opening of the hospital, Nelly Murphy, a graduate nurse, was placed in charge of nursing, assisted by Alice Peacock, who had had about a year’s training in a hospital in New Mexico. The school was opened a few months later under direction of Miss Peacock, who, meantime, was completing training under staff supervision. The two-year course consisted of one hour of class work each week by each staff physician. The first class of three students was graduated in 1904.
