Katherine F. Dorsey, R.N.
Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: General regret attends the resignation of Miss Katherine F. Dorsey, R.N., as superintendent of the Norwich Hospital, she having presented the same to the Board of Directors to take effect March 1.
During the three years that Miss Dorsey has been in charge she has succeeded by tireless effort and unfailing courtesy and tact in securing widespread interest and co-operation in the maintenance of the hospital. Many improvements have been made and the standard has been kept so high that there is always a waiting list of Chenango county patients who prefer to come to Norwich for treatment or operations rather than to go to the larger city hospitals.
Aside from her duties as superintendent Miss Dorsey has saved the hospital much expense by acting for weeks at a time as surgery nurse as well and has taken the places of other nurses, doing many times the accredited hours of work. Her strength has begun to weaken under the constant strain and she will go to her home in the central part of the State, for a time at least, to recuperate.
