I took this photo last Thursday, and for some reason forgot to post it earlier this week… The news I heard earlier that the entire structure is now down, reminded me about this picture. This was the last stand. A lot of history gone…

I too was born at Grace in '49. My mother stayed in the Faith Haven home next door until she was well enough to go home. I was then adopted. Ironically 18 yrs later, I took a Nurses' Aide course at Grace. I worked there , then Riverview Hospital, then Hotel Dieu as a certified Nurse's Aide....now a lost profession, sorely missed by not only the patients but the RNs and other medical staff. We, the "aides" were the nightingales of backrubs, clean beds everyday, sponge baths, BPs and temps read daily, enemas, carbolizing beds , all the things RNs do not have time to all do these days. The quality of care back then was stellar and I loved the work. Proud to say I was part of it. I'd love to know more about Faith Haven though if anyone can provide me with this info. Thank you
