A window into the history of healthcare in Calico Rock…

This special display brings together treasured pieces from our community’s medical past: Dr. Meryl Grasse’s lab coat, surgical cap and mask; a Pink Lady uniform; old medicine containers; a surgical stand with instruments; a fetoscope; photographs of the Little White House and several of the nurses; and a copy of a check believed to have helped fund renovation work.

At the heart of the window is a quilt made by hospital staff in the 1980s as a wedding gift for Jody Schlosser-a beautiful reminder that the hospital was not only a place of healing, but also a community of people who worked, cared and celebrated life together.

We are deeply grateful to Claire Cresto and Cathy Ward for bringing this window to life. Cathy gathered many of the historical items and contributed her knowledge and design skills, while Claire lent her creative eye to the display. Together, they created a meaningful window into Calico Rock’s medical history.
