  6. How can a person get a copy of their birth record from the old City Memorial Hospital in the 1950’s?

  11. I understand, but am not certain, that my father, Dr. John William Griffis, did his residency at City Hospital in the early 1930s before returning to Natural Bridge Station, Virginia, his home to practice and then moving to Denton, NC where he opened a small clinic. Are there any records that might confirm his training there?

  12. I was born there November 25 1950. When I was growing up I lived on East Polo Rd. Then we moved to Washington DC when I was 4.

  14. City Memorial Hospital became Forsyth Memorial Hospital when it moved to Silas Creek Parkway. You might try there for records from City Hospital. It is now called Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center.

  18. I was born at City Memorial Feb.4, 1950. Returned in early 1957 for tonsillectomy. Anytime I smell ether, the anesthesia of the day, I revisit the operating room in my mind.

  21. I was born there in August of 1950. There was also a large white building near the hospital. I think it was a clinic.Can’t remember the name.

  22. I think my mother was in a nurses training program here starting in 1938 or 39. She had to quit when she got married in 1941. Is there a way to confirm that this is where she was in training?

  23. City Memorial Hospital became Forsyth Memorial Hospital when it moved to Silas Creek Parkway. You might try there for records from City Hospital. It is now called Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center. There is also a nurses’ association, which might keep records on the training program participants.

  27. I am researching an institution called Cox Restorium. It may have been in the building that is now across from the City Hospital and built from RJ Reynolds money bequeathed upon his death. I would love to know more about Cox Restorium.
