RE: United Benevolent Association (UBA Hospital)
The Female Union Charitable Association, later the United Benevolent Association, opened a hospital in 1848. Ten years later, the society bought a home for orphans near LaGrave Ave. and Oakes Street. They named it the Orphans Asylum Association. Other homes were eventually opened. In 1886, a hospital was added and in 1916 that hospital was moved to the site at Wealthy St. and Plymouth Ave. and named Blodgett Hospital.
