This was the statement made by Joseph J. Baker, president of the hospital, in his report rendered Tuesday night at the annual meeting held in the hospital’s auditorium.
The hospital’s dispensary had 137,797 visits during 1929, said Mr. Baker.

The officers of the hospital who were reelected at Tuesday’s meeting are: Joseph J. Baker, president; Sidney Weinburg, vice-president, and chairman of the executive committee; Louis M. Strauss, treasurer; Isador Isaacsen, secretary.
