Did you know Hillcrest Medical Center (formerly named Morningside Hospital) opened in 1918 in response to a nationwide influenza epidemic? While heading west from New York on a WWI troop train, Nurse Dolly Brown McNulty heard about a meeting in Tulsa on the health crisis and decided to attend. After seeing the lack of hospital space firsthand, she was inspired to get involved and became the founder of our hospital. #HMC100
