Description
Bennett Health Infirmary was first housed in three or four rooms on the ground floor of O'Neal Hall. Dr. T.L. Bennett, Jr. was appointed as university physician by Dr. Henry J. Willingham and served for 36 years (beginning in 1932 until 1968). The next infirmary was located in a white framed house (which has since been torn down). The first nurse was Mrs. Essie Knight, who had charge of 4 rooms-two for boys and two for girls. Eventually it was moved to Circular Road and also was known as the University of North Alabama Health Center. Now it is located inside Wilson Park Medical Arts Building on Seminary Street.
