The Fabiola Hospital (also known as, Oakland Homeopathic Hospital and Dispensary Association) is a defunct American hospital in Oakland, California. Named after Saint Fabiola, it was founded in 1876[a] by 18 women.[3] The medical staff was composed of representatives from the homeopath and eclectic schools. This allowed patients entering the hospital to have their choice as to their method of treatment. The hospital association was popular and well supported. They managed the hospital well, free from debt, as well as a training school for nurses, an ambulance system, and district nursing. Nurses were supplied from the hospital for private cases.[2]
The hospital closed in 1932 with the headline in the October 16 issue of the Oakland Tribune: "Fabiola Ends Experiment in 'Feminism'". It was donated to Merritt Hospital the following year. In 1942, it was dedicated as the Permanente Hospital. The hospital was demolished in 2005, replaced by a parking lot.[3]
