These records from the late 19th century/early 20th century contain Hahnemann Hospital Medical and Surgical Staff Minutes, and Johnstown Homeopathic Dispensary finances and papers. Hahnemann Hospital was opened in 1890 as a teaching hospital for the Hahnemann Medical College and by the time it moved to its permanent location in 1928, it was one of the most modern and technologically developed hospitals in the nation. Johnstown Homeopathic Dispensary was a branch of the Philadelphia Homeopathic Hospital Dispensary opened in Johnstown, Pennsylvania in 1889. The dispensary was opened on the demand of the Cambria Iron Works after the devastating Johnstown Flood which killed an estimated 2,200 people in May 1889. The dispensary was opened and operated by Dr. H. E. Kistler.
