Homeplace Hospital: Membership Log and Miscellaneous Reports

These are materials relating to the organization of a cooperative health association at Homeplace to provide medical care for local members, their families, and other needy persons. Included are drafts of a membership agreement form dating from 1946 which document the process whereby the Mountain Fundagreed to provide for a physician and a nurse in residence. Also included is a logbook containing meeting minutes of the local committee, which directed the Association. The minutes detail early growth in the Association's membership and, in a brief fashion, the activities of Dr. A.G. Steele, the first physician hired. The log includes an alphabetical list of Association members and a record of their dues payments.

Also included are undated petitions of support from the communities of Ary, Fisty, Dwarf, and Rowdy; signed membership forms (1946); and miscellaneous receipt forms.
