Description
The
Ohio
Valley
Hospital
in
Steubenville
,
Ohio
was
begun
in
1912
with the
help
of
Mr
.
Dohrman
J
.
Sinclair
and a
team
of
people
,
who
started
a
campaign
to
raise
$100,000
for a
municipal
hospital
. The
need
for a
public
hospital
in
Steubenville
was
great
, and
once
the
money
had been
raised
,
it
was
decided
that the
former
Lacy
Hotel
would
suffice
until
a
proper
building
could
be
built
.
Patients
were
admitted
and
treatments
began
immediately
,
while
also
starting
the
“Training
School
for
Women
Nurses”
, a
3
year
program
for
women
between
the
ages
of
21
and
33
.
While
the
hospital
itself
was
thriving
,
plans
for the
permanent
building
were
facing
difficulties
. The
first
of these
problems
was in
finding
an
acceptable
site
, of
which
there was
no
shortage
to
choose
from.
April
17
,
1913
,
trustees
purchased
11
acres
of
land
from
Sarah
Wells
and her
sister
, for
$15,000
and
Mr
.
Sinclair
bought
an
additional
5
acres
which
were
adjacent
and
donated
them to the
hospital
, in
May
of
1914
. The
next
problem
was in
drafting
plans
for the
building
.
Eventually
,
Sinclair
himself
drew
a
sketch
of his
idea
, and
Meyer
J
.
Sturm
of
Chicago
turned
this
idea
into
reality
. The
result
was a
4-story
administration
building
with a
3-story
wing
made
of
brick
, with
stone
and
terracotta
trimming
,
designed
in
such
a
way
that
additional
wings
could
be
added
easily
in the
future
.
Work
began
in
1914
with
Floto
Brothers
completing
the
foundation
and
Guy
Johnston
handling
the
rest
of
construction
.
Due
to
money
shortages
and
accidents
and
other
problems
, the
building
was not
actually
completed
and
ready
to be
opened
until
June
1917
. The
nursing
program
was also
thriving
and in
1943
the
school/hospital
,
now
called
the
Ohio
Valley
Hospital
School
of
Nursing
, was
admitted
in the
United
States
Cadet
Nurse
Program
. From
1954
to
1969
the
School
was
affiliated
with
Bethany
College
for
science
courses
. In
1969
, a
cooperative
relationship
was
established
with
Ohio
University
for the
instruction
of
all
non-nursing
courses
and
college
credit
. From
1974
to1986
, the
School
was in
affiliation
with the
University
of
Steubenville
. The
School
was
affiliated
with
Jefferson
Community
College
for
instruction
of
all
non-nursing
courses
from
1986
through
2009
.
Trinity
Health
System
School
of
Nursing
was
established
in
1996
as a
result
of an
affiliation
between
Ohio
Valley
Hospital
and
St
.
John
Medical
Center
.
Trinity
Health
System
and
Trinity

facilities
