Liberty Medical Center, 1989-1997

The collection contains a roster of job descriptions at Provident Hospital for 1964, detailing qualifications for the role, general requirements for the position, specific job duties, source of workers and pathways to promotion; financial records spanning a period between 1964-1976, including auditors’ reports and documentation for associated development programs and a neighborhood health center; two newspaper supplements published by the “Baltimore Afro-American,” one promoting the dedication of the new Liberty Heights building in 1971, the other celebrating Provident’s 90th anniversary in 1984; five issues of “Pulse,” the hospital newsletter, featuring volunteer and employee profiles, emerging medical programs, events, and opinion pieces; two annual report booklets produced by Provident’s Office of Public Relations; miscellaneous Liberty Medical Center ephemera, including a report on the absorption of Liberty by Bon Secours Health System in 1996. This collection also includes two brochures for the National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes at Mount St. Mary University in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The connection between these pieces of ephemera and the rest of the collection is uncertain although the historical presence of an African American section at the nearby St. Anthony Shrine Cemetery, and integration of the cemetery in 1960, may provide some context.
