The MEDICAL CENTER, Baldwin Ave. at Montgomery St., is the largest hospital in the State, with beds for 1,800 patients. Four main buildings of light yellow brick and terra cotta, designed by John T. Rowland, rise 14 to 23 stories, forming the most imposing segment of the city's skyline. A 10-story structure houses the nationally known Margaret Hague Maternity Hospital, with accommodations for 400 mothers and their babies. More babies are born here probably than in any other hospital of the Nation; the total for 1936 was 5,088. Of the 6,096 mothers admitted in that year, only 20 died, giving a maternal mortality of about one-third of i percent. The infant mortality was 2.5 percent. Both figures are well below the national average. The center is equipped to provide free care for all types of diseases.
