During its reign as the largest hospital in Rocky Mount, it opened a training school for nurses, the Park View School of Nursing (pictured above), graduating 55 nursing classes. This year marks the 100th Commemorative Anniversary of the hospital and the 25th Anniversary of the scholarship endowment.
