A gift of approximately $500,000 has been made to the Sinai Hospital here by the Nate S. and Ruth B. Shapero Foundation and the Cunningham Drug Company Foundation, it was announced this week.
The gifts will finance the construction and operation for five years of a special school for training practical nurses. The school will be able to graduate 48 practical nurses annually and will furnish facilities for research in various nursing problems, according to Mr. Shaper, who heads both foundations. In the future, depending upon the needs of the community, other types of nurses may be trained at the institution, to be named the Shapero School of Nursing.
