A black and white postcard of the Calumet & Arizona hospital. The postcard was postmarked Bisbee Ariz. June 30th 1910-7 AM and was sent by Clara Liesmann to Mrs. R. Murrell, Hereford, AZ.

Your friend Clara. The postcard was published by the Albertype Company, Brooklyn, New York. City of Bisbee collection.

The Calumet & Arizona Hospital was established between Bisbee and the Johnson Addition in a building that eventually served as a Mexican mission. In 1917, Calumet & Arizona built a large hospital in Warren and the construction was overseen by Nelson C. Bledsoe who worked as a surgeon. The service the hospital provided to C&A miners and their families was top notch. Among its doctors were C.H. Edmondsen and Dr. Darragh. In the 1940’s the former hospital turned into the Hillcrest Apartments.
