Scene of Healing: The Patient Room
 SHARE YOUR STORIES! |
The hospital patient room has always been a place of important healing. Restoring patients to good health comes into sharp focus in the patient room.
Today, the delivery of care is undergoing more change than at any other point in history. For a nostalgic look back, visit Memorial Hospital’s patient room of 1911 that re-creates a Ward B room the way it looked when the hospital first opened in 1911. Authentic historical memorabilia are on display, including period hospital furnishings, a 1911 Birth Certificate (in Dr. G. Shedd’s handwriting), a postcard written by a patient in 1911, historical photos, and Bovie and X-Ray machines (originally in use at Memorial Hospital, all generously donated by the Hospital, Conway Historical Society, the Henney History Room at Conway Library, the Dr. Remick Museum, and David Shedd, grandson and great grandson of the hospital’s founding doctors.
Please also enjoy the Historical Displays that are also located in the Main Lobby area. The display includes generous donations of paintings, photographs, old medical equipment, and memorabilia from the Conway Historical Society with help from Bob Cottrell, Henney History Room Curator, who is providing historical, technical and artistic support for the re-creation of the patient room and historical displays. Items on display include Memorial Hospital’s Articles of Incorporation, old financial ledgers, Dr. Shedd’s doctor’s bag, a charcoal drawing of Dr. Shedd as a young man completed by his mother, Mrs. Mary Hall Shedd in 1888, an early X-ray machine (originally in use at Memorial Hospital), and portraits of Dr. John Z. Shedd and Dr. George Hosley Shedd (on special loan by great grandson and grandson David Shedd).
All displays have been assembled with help from several local organizations and individuals. Special thanks to: Memorial Hospital, Conway Historical Society, the Henney History Room, Dr. Remick Museum, and David Shedd, grandson and great grandson of the hospital’s founding doctors. The patient room would not have been possible without the generous help of: Memorial Hospital’s 100th Anniversary Committee, Joan Lanoie, David Mitchell, Housekeeping Manager, Linda Roberts, RN, and Memorial’s Maintenance Staff! The public is cordially invited to view the patient room and historical displays, located just off the main lobby, from 9am to 5pm, Monday through Friday.
