** Reid History **
For a video highlighting the first 100 years of Reid Hospital history
Reid Hospital & Health Care Services opened as Reid Memorial Hospital in 1905. Daniel G. Reid - an industrialist whose wealth came from tin plating, railroads and steel - financed the construction.
Reid, originally from Richmond, was living in New York when he learned of the need to replace St. Stephen's Hospital, which had only 10 beds and was turning away about 50 patients a week. William B. Leeds, Reid's partner in business ventures and also a former Richmond resident contributed $10,000. An additional $10,000 was donated from the estate of Robert Morrison and $5,000 from James M. Starr's estate. Reid contributed the balance, about $130,000.
The hospital name was in memory of Reid's wife, Ella, and their son, Frank, who both died before the turn of the century. The cornerstone was laid in September 1904 and Reid Memorial was dedicated July 27, 1905.
