Graduating nursing uniform photo of Constance Jean Spates

Constance Jean Spates, 1937 - 2007

At a time when there were few women holding leadership positions in local hospital administration, Constance Spates can be considered a pioneer. Upon graduating from the Memorial Hospital (Cumberland) School of Nursing in 1958, Constance Spates began her career as a staff nurse at the Miner's Hospital in Frostburg. Over forty years later, in 1999, she retired from Memorial Hospital, now part of the Western Maryland Health System, with the title of Assistant Vice-President of Ambulatory Care/Outpatient Services.
