Duke, Sept. 19—Due to inadequate space for the proper and efficient handling of the many patients who seek admittance therein, the capacity of the Good Hope Hospital here has been recently doubled. The rooms in which the nurses have been staying have been converted into wards for patients. The hospital has annexed the nine-room dwelling opposite it, and is now using it for a nurses’ home. Later, patients will be cared for there also. An added feature, too, is the practically new equipment throughout the entire building, thus making it an institution that is thoroughly modern in every respect.
Because this is the only hospital between Raleigh and Sanford and Smithfield and Fayetteville, the accommodations are filled all the time. Duke may well be proud of its indispensable asset.
