CLAY COUNTY ILLUSTRATED

Moorhead Hospital, Owned and Conducted by Dr. D. C. Darrow 



The Moorhead Hospital was the first 

 general institution of that character 

 built in Clay county. In 1893 the first 

 part was built by Dr. D. C. Darrow 

 who later enlarged it until at the pres- 

 ent time there are 27 rooms for pa- 

 tients. Everything about the Moor- 

 head Hospital is of the best and the 

 well-lighted operating room is no ex- 

 ception to this rule. A corps of com- 

 petent nurses is maintained. The hos- 

 pital is located at Sixth Avenue and 

 Seventh Street South, one block from 

 the street railway. 



The Northwestern Hospital is one of 

 the best built and equipped in the 

 Northwest. It is owned and conducted 

 by the Northwestern Hospital Associ- 

 ation; has accommodations for sixty 

 patients, and is located near the ter- 

 minus of the Court House line of the 

 street railway. A training school for 

 nurses is maintained and an experi- 

 enced superintendent is in charge. 

 Several of the leading farmers, busi- 

 ness and professional men of the coun- 

 ty are included in the directorate of 

 the institution.
