The Halstead Hospital, originally known as the Hertzler Hospital, was a hospital in Halstead, Kansas, founded by Arthur E. Hertzler in 1902 in an eight-room residence. [1] Following the death of Hertzler's daughter Agnes Hertzler Huebert in 1925, the hospital's name was changed to the Agnes Hertzler Memorial Hospital. [2]

In 1932, the hospital was given by Hertzler to the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Wichita. [3] Over the years, the hospital expanded into a complex of buildings with a size of over 260,000 square feet. [4]

The hospital closed in 2002. [5] In spite of efforts to re-use the hospital buildings for medical purposes, the premises were eventually put up for auction in 2022. [4] [5]

St. Agnes Hospital was a private hospital in Raleigh, North Carolina, United States. Open from 1896 to 1961, it served the city's black residents. The hospital and an associated nursing school were founded after Aaron Burris Hunter and Sarah Hunter, instructors at St. Augustine's College, became concerned about the limited options local black residents had for medical care. Originally operating out of a former home on St, Augustine's campus, the hospital moved to a new four-story stone building in 1909. Largely reliant on philanthropic contributions, the hospital struggled to maintain adequate funding throughout its existence and served a large number of charity patients. Accredited by the American Medical Association and the American College of Surgeons, dozens of physicians and approximately 500 nurses were trained at the hospital. By the mid-1950s, the hospital was struggling to fund advancements needed to keep up with improving medical care and stricter accreditation standards. The hospital building was condemned in 1955 and the institution closed in April 1961 after Wake County opened a public hospital to treat both black and white patients. The main hospital building fell into ruins, and in 1979 it was declared a local historic landmark by the city of Raleigh.
