If you guessed that the image for contest 19 was at Beebe Hospital, you were correct!

The Beebe School of Nursing was founded in 1921, at the request of a young girl seeking
advanced nursing education in her home town. The physical growth of the school came
quite later with the dedication of the Jean Ellen DuPont McConnell Nurses Home in
1960. The hospital-based nursing school now sends its graduates into the healthcare
profession each year.

Benjamin F. and Helen M. Shaw were benevolent gift-givers to the hospital, donating
not one, but two wings. The first, which was completed in 1921, included operating and
delivery rooms, an X-ray department, and raised the bed capacity to 35. The Shaw’s
philanthropic nature again led to another wing in 1927 in memory of their daughter,
Natalie Townsend Shaw. The second wing brought the bed total to 60.

The Shaw Wing still stands today on Savannah Road in front of the new & modern
Beebe Hospital facitlity.

Good luck on this week's contest!
