Brockville General Hospital

Description

After much planning, discussion and a few false starts, the proposed $32 million expansion to Brockville General Hospital was underway. In March of 2000, the City of Brockville sold part of Emma Street to BGH for $1.00. The street was officially closed and absorbed by the expansion in June the following year. Start of demolition of the Comstock Nurses’ Residence in May 2000 was attended by many nursing alumnae, including the legendary Vera Preston, Director of Nursing at the BGH School of Nursing for over 30 years.

A graduating class from the Brockville General Hospital School of Nursing, circa 1916. The school began with the building of the new hospital on Ormond Street in 1889, and saw its first graduate—a Miss Isabella Thomas of Brooklyn, NY—in 1893. For over 80 years, the nursing school was an integral part of the BGH community, producing 1189 graduates before nursing programs became part of community college curriculum in 1974.
