Before the many advances in technology and medicine had led to modern day health care, a village hospital in Ballston Spa, NY, with its employees working together as family, provided medical, surgical and obstetrical care to its citizens. A doctor made house calls, delivered babies, performed surgery and administered anesthesia. Nurses not only administered medicine and provided care to their patients and newborns but also tended to supplies and, as necessary, assisted with emergencies, deliveries and surgeries. Remaining hospital staff worked above and beyond their job descriptions.
