St. Joseph's Hospital Training School Collection

Opened by the Sisters of Charity of the St. Joseph parish, St. Joseph's Hospital served as an integral part of the Willimantic community. By July 1926 the 40 bed facility was in need of modernization and space and the hospital directors and the Trustees of the congregation met to discuss plans. The recall of the Sisters of Charity (based in The Netherlands) further exascerbated the situation for the congregation. On October 1, 1930, an incorporator's meeting was held and it was decided that the new hospital would be a non-sectarian community hospital with a non-sectarian Board; the proposed name of this facility was Windham Community Memorial Hospital. There is no information on the Training School available online [2022].
