The $152 million St. Jopseph-London will employ some 1,000 employees in the 340,000 square-foot building with 120 patient rooms, six surgical suites and five heart catheterization laboratories… One of the items from a 1946 London newspaper , “Mr. H.V. Pennington offers the purchase of the Pennington Hospital to the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth at the cost of $120,000. This does not include one mobile General Electric x-ray, one Victor ultra-violet machine or two microscopes that are now needed in another laboratory. It does include nine-and-a-half acres of land, all the buildings, three cows, one mule and all the chickens.”
