Early Colfax hospital, Colfax, Washington, circa 1967 |

Description |
The earliest medical history states that many doctors came and went in the Colfax, Washington area. Two of them who stayed were Dr. B.F. Harvey and Dr. J.N. Pocock. It was under these two men that the very first hospital was established for a short time in the late 1880's. It was in a private home with Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Leister as nurses. As early as 1892 the Catholic Church sisters began to look for a location for a hospital in Whitman County. In 1893 the Sisters of Charity opened temporary quarters in the Old Batt house at the south end of Mill Street in Colfax, Washington. It was no bigger than a garage. This photo was taken on the hospital's seventy-fifth anniversary. The Colfax Gazette Commoner captioned this photo in the April 1978 issue, "Sister Anne Michelle, left and Amedee Marie, Superior, of St. Ignatius Hospital stand beside the old building (Old Batt house) where the Sisters of Charity of Providence first began serving this area 100 years ago. As many as 10 patients were housed at one time in the frame building, which sits on the hill south of the present hospital. It is now used for storage." Note: names read left to right.
