In 1895, Franklin County Public Hospital (FCPH) used to be founded by 36 citizens led by Dr. Adams Calhoun Deane. The newly incorporated hospital rented the previous home of Rev. Dr. Francis Robbins and served 55 patients in its first year of operation. By 1898, FCPH moved to the bigger Converse House after which to purpose-built facilities at 164 High Street in 1910. The hospital trained nurses, including Susie Walking Undergo Yellowtail, class of 1927, the primary Native American graduate in america. In 1968, FCPH opened the architecturally distinctive “Spokes” wards. During its history, the Board of Organized Work (now the Baystate Franklin Auxiliary) has supported the hospital with fundraising activities.

This book celebrates 120 years of service to Franklin County.
