In April, 1943, Monteagle Nursing Home was equipped and
opened as an annexe to Mayday and St. Mary's Hospitals,
providing 20 additional lying-in beds and 2 nurseries. These
beds are included in the Mayday Hospital beds named above.
696 mothers and babies were transferred from Mayday Hospital,
and 95 mothers and babies from St. Mary's Hospital in 1946 to
finish their nursing after about the 7th day. This has made
possible the considerable increase in the number of deliveries
in Mayday Hospital, and, to a lesser extent, in St. Mary's
Hospital, in 1946, as compared with previous years.
