Scope and content
Mary Bridge Hospital, possibly a radiology lab. The technician is adjusting an X-ray machine. This was formerly the hydrotherapy room at Mary Bridge. All of the equipment in the hospital was specially designed for its pint sized patients, ranging from birth to age 14. Since its opening in 1955, the hospital had become overcrowded and rooms, such as the playroom, were taken over as wards due to the need for more beds. Here the hydrotherapy room has been converted to a much needed x-ray lab. A massive fund raising drive was underway to support enlargement of Mary Bridge and improvements at Tacoma General.
