Willard State Hospital (N.Y.)

The Willard State Hospital School of Nursing grew out of two-year hospital attendant classes begun in 1887 at Willard Asylum. In 1922, in attempting to standardize education and training of nurses, all nursing schools in the State (affiliated with both general hospitals and mental hospitals) were brought under the authority of the State Education Department.
