Samaritian Health Services company history timeline

1881

In 1881, the trustees leased a house on the corner of TenEyck and Holcomb Streets from Thomas Breen, much to the dismay of the surrounding residents who feared the establishment of a hospital in their neighborhood would adversely affect property values.

When Reverends Russell A. Olin of Trinity Church and Albert Danger of Grace Church and five of their laymen met on June 13, 1881, charity alone was on their mind.

When The House of the Good Samaritan opened in 1881, doctors still made house calls for everything from the common cold to major surgery.
