Spohn Kleberg Memorial Hospital
Spohn Kleberg Memorial Hospital Auxiliary Records
The Kleberg Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, formerly known as Kleberg County Hospital Auxiliary, came into being on February 14, 1962, with the first election of officers and the ratification of its by-laws by members of the Community Service Department of the Woman's Club of Kingsville, which was the founding organization. The fledgling Auxiliary became independent with that meeting. When the new hospital was dedicated in 1985, the group changed names once again to the Spohn Kleberg Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. This collection consists of documents and photographs that this organization created during their volunteer services over 30 years.
