Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Luke's Hospital Annual Reports, 1954-1955 The Clark Building, opened on St. Luke's Day, October 18th, 1954, supplied the badly needed space for a new and modern out-patient Department. Its 34 clinics occupy the first two floors of the building and daily render a tremendous service to the Community. In 1955, the first full year of operation, it handled more clinic visits than it had in its old quarters. Equally busy are the diagnostic and therapeutic services on the third floor. The laboratories of the Pathology Department on the fourth floor and the special laboratories on the Penthouse floor now offer opportunities for clinical and pure research the Hospital has never had before. Modern and well-equipped space for patients of services already major in the Hospital, i.e., orthopedic, urological, and pediatric, are housed in the new building. The inauguration of a long-needed psychiatric service was also made possible. The establishment of the Columbia Health Service on the second floor of this building and its Infirmary on the ninth floor was also a natural and desirable development. It is not possible to think of the work of the three divisions of St. Luke's. Hospital - the General Hospital, Woman's Hospital Division, and the Convalescent Home - without paying tribute to its staffs: physicians and surgeons, nurses, technicians, administrators, medical social workers, and all of the hundreds who serve so faithfully and with such good will. Contributing freely and cheerfully to this service is a group of men and women who last year gave hours of volunteer work to St. Luke's.
