Pitt County Memorial Hospital Annual Reports (1976-1992) and Quarterly Reports (1993-1999)

After the Hospital moved into new building facilities in 1977, it began issuing an Annual Report to the community. These reports feature the people and departments of the Hospital and give financial and statistical data from the past year. In 1992, the Hospital began issuing a Quarterly Report, which was organized into sections, ranging from patient care to finance, reflecting the accomplishments and goals of Pitt County Memorial Hospital. (9.2, 9.3)

These newsletters were published monthly by The Office of Communications and Publications, Pitt County Memorial Hospital and The Office of Information and Publications, East Carolina University School of Medicine. (9.23)

The oldest materials included here are photographs of the groundbreaking and construction of the Hospital on West Fifth Street that began in 1949. The most recent images were produced in 2001. In addition to photographic materials, there are printed announcements, relevant to special, Hospital-sponsored events that took place between 1977 and 2001. (9.4-9.6)

Three notebooks of photographic slides provide images of hospital buildings and facilities, various hospital departments, employees, equipment, as well as planning charts and graphs that were used in presentations.
