History Center in Review: PRISMA Health Upstate

The inaugural exhibit celebrated the Greenville Hospital System School of Nursing which opened its doors in 1911, one day before the hospital, and trained nurses until it closed in 1974. Drawing from a substantial archive of historical information and artifacts, subsequent exhibits have highlighted children’s medicine, the size and scope of the GHS system, the system’s centennial anniversary, and the importance of academic and clinical education to provide a pipeline of healthcare workers for the regional community, and orthopedic surgery. Future exhibits may include obstetrics and gynecology, oncology, neurology, and mental health.

Marking History: Phoebe Centennial Celebration

Originally founded in 1911 through a gift of $25,000 from Francis Flagg Putney, the Phoebe Health System has grown to serve as the major medical center for Southwest Georgia with multiple campuses and a full range of medical services. When the gift was made, Mr. Putney required three things: that the hospital be built of brick, that it serve anyone regardless of ability to pay, and that it be named for his mother, Phoebe.
