Homer G. Phillips Hospital and School of Nursing

Description

Homer G. Phillips Hospital and School of Nursing was a historic institution in St. Louis that served the African American community from 1937 to 1979. It was a fully equipped hospital and training facility for Black doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals during a time when opportunities for African Americans in these fields were limited. The hospital, named after the lawyer who championed its creation, was a vital part of the Ville neighborhood and a source of pride for the Black community.
Restored sections of the former hospital now serves as a neighborhood health care center and a residential care facility for older adults.
