Wilson’s first hospital, the Wilson Sanatorium, was established in 1896 by Dr. C.E. Moore and Dr. Albert Anderson, two of the state’s leading physicians. They were recognized throughout the South as pioneer hospital executives.
The first graduating class of nurses in 1899 consisted of three members: Effie Morris (Mrs. Martin Faratoro), Minnie Oldham and Annie Morris. Three graduates of the school served in World War I: Emily Morton (Whitley), Gay Johnson and Ella Flye Lumley.
The sanatorium closed in 1922.
