Willard School of Nursing, Page 6 of 7 pages

The Willard State Hospital School of Nursing grew out of two-year hospital attendant classes begun in 1887 at Willard Asylum. In 1922, in attempting to standardize education and training of nurses, all nursing schools in the State (affiliated with both general hospitals and mental hospitals) were brought under the authority of the State Education Department. The last class graduated in 1978, ending a 91 year tradition.

I would appreciate you forwarding this web page to other graduates of Willard School of Nursing. If you have a photo of a graduating class please scan and send to me at johora3@cox.net ... If possible, label the photo with names and class offices held, if known.

Photos provided by Peggy Ellsworth were captioned by Peggy with the assistance of Lynn Vincent, Webb Rankin, Joe Licak, Chris Carroll, Gail Christensen
