National Hospital Week is May 11-17 and honors the efforts of hospitals and healthcare providers. To celebrate, here’s a photograph of the original St. Joseph Hospital on College Avenue in Lancaster City. The hospital was established in 1884 and continued operations until 2019. This version of the hospital was razed to make way for a new hospital building between 1955 and 1960. Today, the building is being renovated or adaptively reused into apartments.
