Health care has come a long since 1900. In 1884, Lassen County built a county hospital along Susan River, near the Susanville Cemetery. The board of supervisors were the de facto operators. The supervisors appointed a county physician whose duties included the management of the hospital. The supervisors hired the hospital staff, which consisted of a married couple whose title was Steward and Stewardess. Their duties were to take care of patients and maintain the facility. The above 1910 application of J.E. and Edna Bass for the county hospital position was typical. If one thinks about their bid $6o month each, that works out to $2.00 per day.
It should be noted that the Lassen County hospital served as a quasi old folks home and often referred then as the poor house for those of indigent means.
Is that the house next to the Bizz at the base of Miller Rd?
