History
History
Palmerton Hospital has not stopped growing since the day ground was broken on June 8 1907 It took less than a year to complete the first structure a modest eleven bed facility which was created by The New Jersey Zinc Company as a nonprofit institution after a severe typhoid epidemic had ravaged the community By 1911 it had expanded to 30 beds and by 1926 it reached its present capacity of 70 beds For 31 years from 1910 to 1951 the Palmerton Hospital operated a School of Nursing to meet the communitys increased patient care need
