St. Anthony's Hospital
Conducted by Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word

Amarillo, Texas
July 29, 1966
Dear Doctor:
I would like to share with you some information on changes in administration
at St. Anthony's Hospital. The administrator of our hospital in San Antonio--
the Santa Rosa Medical Center-- has been ill for the past year and I have been
assigned to replace her. I regret the change at this time--however, I will
continue to be on the Board of St. Anthony's, and in this capacity, residing
in San Antonio close to our Mother House, I will be able to do more for the
hospital than I could living right here in Amarillo.
I assure you every effort will be made to keep St. Anthony's a first-rate
progressive hospital, as well as pursuing the master plan and further devel-
opment of the institution.
Sister Thomasine will be replacing me as the Administrator of St. Anthony's
on August 3. As you may know, Sister is an R. N. with a B. S. in Nursing
from Incarnate Word College in San Antonio, a Master's degree from Catholic
University, Washington, D. C., and her academic preparation in Hospital
Administration from St. Louis University, Department of Hospital Administra-
tion. Sister has been assigned to St. Anthony's for the past several years
as nursing supervisor of the medical service and for the past two years has
worked with me as administrative assistant, Pepeacene me in administration
whenever I was out of town.
We have carefully groomed Sister Thomasine for the position of Administrator
and we selected her for St. Anthony's because she is familiar with the hos-
pital and all of its operations. She knows the community and she knows our
doctors, and appreciates them. I feel confident that Sister will receive the
same excellent cooperation and support from the members of our Medical Staff
as I have received during the past two years.
I would like to say how much I have enjoyed working here and I do want to say
"Thank you Doctor, for everything," and if you visit San Antonio at any time,
please drop by to see the Santa Rosa Medical Center. You will be very wel-
come, I assure you, and I will be delighted to see you.
Praying that God may bless you, your family and your work, and assuring you
of a daily remembrance in the prayers of all our Sisters, I am
Very sincerely,
Sister Angela Clare, C.C.V.I.
Administrator
St. Anthony's Hospital School of Nursing
