HOSPITAL SEEKS NURSERY ALUMNI

Southeast Missouri Hospital is looking for people with special memories or mementos to share of the hospital's 70-year history.

The hospital is especially interested in tracking down its 1928 nursery alumni -- the 48 babies born in its first year of operation, said Nancy Bray, marketing director. They will be honored at the annual Hospital Association Meeting in April.

Hospital officials want to hear people's special stories, Bray said.

"We feel that there are many people in our region who have stories to share about the hospital," Bray said. "Those stories might involve the birth of a baby, a nurse whose kindness has long been remembered or any special circumstance that families would like to share."
