OLD CASHMERE SANATORIUM
Reunion Planned Next Year
Former staff and patients of the Coronation Hospital (including all the old dashmere Sanatorium institutions) have been invited to plan a reunion to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of Coronation Hospital building, and its complete conversion from a tuberculosis hospital to geriatric use.
The board will in any case provide afternoon tea for present patients and staff, and if the reunion is held the afternoon tea function will be held in conjunction with whatever other arrangements are made.
The top floor of the building is due to be occupied as a geriatric ward early in the New Year, the rest of the building being already taken over for geriatric patients. The fiftieth anniversary falls on June 1, 1964. The remaining tuberculosis patients are all in the Upper Sanatorium.
The medical superintendent of the hospital (Dr. T. 0.Enticott) said he would be glad to hear from anyone interested in forming a committee to organise the reunion.
