Our Story

Organization and Early History of Maynard Hospital, Inc.

Maynard Hospital, Inc., was organized as a charitable corporation on March 14, 1933, by a group of Seattle doctors to take over another Seattle hospital, Martha Washington Hospital. It was organized as a joint-stock company under section 3863, Revised Code of Washington (now sec. 24.08.01, Rev. Code Wash.), in the name of Hospital Holding Co. The name was changed in 1936 to Maynard Hospital, Inc.

The founders and original stockholders were:

William A. Glasgow, M.D., a general practitioner

James E. Hunter, M.D., an internist

E. Weldon Young, M.D., a general practitioner

H. J. Wyckoff, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon

Gordon G. Thompson, M.D., an obstetrician and gynecologist

J. C. Moore, M.D., a general surgeon

Maynard's original capital stock was 100 shares par value $1 each, of which 16 2/3 shares were issued to each of the founders. No consideration was paid by the founders for these shares. The articles of incorporation provide, in part, as follows:

The objects and purposes for which this corporation is formed are:

To carry on the business of a hospital, surgery, sanatorium, drug store and other institutions for the care and treatment of the sick, aged, infirm and other persons; and to establish and maintain a school for the training of nurses for the care of the sick;

To accept public donations or private charity for the support, in whole or in part, of the corporation, and to devote all of its income and profits, after paying the expenses thereof, to the purpose of this corporation;

To do any and all things necessary and proper to carry out any or all of the foregoing objects.

It was further provided that the corporation's affairs would be managed by a board of directors to be elected by the stockholders annually. The six founders were elected the active trustees. The Mayor of Seattle and the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners of King County, Wash., were also named ex-officio trustees but they took no active part in the conduct of the hospital and their names were later dropped. Four of the stockholder-trustees were chosen to serve as officers of the corporation, without compensation, as follows: William A. Glasgow, president; James E. Hunter, vice president; Gordon G. Thompson, treasurer; H. J. Wyckoff, secretary.
