History

I removed the following section today, because it has been tagged unferenced since October 2009, it is not neutral, and I cannot find reliable sources.  Chzz  ►  18:26, 2 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

In 1906, Dr. Black, a prominent local physician sought and received funds from local industry and community leaders and in so doing transformed McKees Rocks General Hospital into Ohio Valley General Hospital. Along with caring for the sick and needy, the institution would become a major training ground for nurses. And when the great depression hit and funds were short, doctors used their own money to buy equipment and the Ladies Aid Society donated a washing machine, blankets and everything needed for a new nursery. And local workers donated their overtime hours to build a hospital garage, plus make needed repairs with bricks donated by the borough.

Argument against merging this information into another article

edit

I see where this article went through the Articles for Deletion process and one possibility was the merging of the article's data into another article. I oppose this, should this come up again, for several reasons:

  • A hospital by definition in Wikipedia is entitled to its own article
  • There is information and reference material online to improve this article
  • I was involved in one merge action in which all information about the subject hospital was deleted by someone after the merge was done
  • This hospital has valid quality and rating information in the HealthGrades website, which I am in the process of including in this article
