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.

Excerpt from Fifty-Fourth Annual Report of St. Luke's Hospital: From October 1, 1915 to December 31, 1916 It is a pleasant duty to make public acknowledgment of the receipt of a most generous gift from Mr. Hobart W. Williams of real estate at 19, 21, 23, and 25 South Water Street, valued at as an endowment, the income from which is to be applied to the current ex penses of operating the Hosp-ital. This increase in income comes at a most opportune time, when we were feeling most acutely the pressure of the very great increase in the cost of practically everything used in the Institution.

Excerpt from Thirty-Ninth Annual Report of St. Luke's Hospital: From October 1, 1901 to September 30, 1902 We desire to express our grateful appreciation of the liberality and interest shown by the friends of the Hospital, which has enabled us to close another year without deficit in current accounts, with additions made to the facilities for doing the work of the Hospital, and with the mortgage indebtedness reduced. The expenditures for the current expenses of the Hos pital have increased this year over last, five per cent; the work done as shown by the number of patient days has increased twelve per cent; and, as stated, the expenditure has been entirely met from receipts intended for current needs during the year with a credit balance of $17 4. This is the third year in succession that we have been able to make this showing and we trust that it will strengthen the faith and increase the energy of the friends of St. Luke's.

Excerpt from Fifty-Third Annual Report of St. Luke's Hospital: From October 1, 1914 to September 30, 1915 All that has been said and written relative to the condition of the old buildings applies with even greater force than ever before.
