Helebrim Memorial Hospital

To help and heal the sick and dying and offer cheap medicine to those who can afford it.

The building has expanded over its three hundred year existence to be a massive four story, multi-winged hospital. It began as a converted cotton weaving building which was 100' long and 30' wide but grew in size as more and more people came to the Porter District and asked for aid.

The hospital uses Victorian style architecture. Most of the hospital is stone but the top floor of some of the older wings are wooden.

The hospital originally opened after a large collapse in the Sinking District caused hundreds of people to be injured and in need of care (called "The Collapse of Ought Six". Taking action swiftly, Doctor Helebrim Tenerious, a firbolg who had just finished getting a medical degree, requisitioned the use of a local cotton factory in the Porter District that had recently shut down. With only a few staff members and no pay, Dr. Helebrim cared for the dozens of injured citizens who were too poor to seek other medical facilities. During his treatment of the patients, Dr. Helebrim contracted a disease of the lungs, but refused to stop caring for his charges. Over the course of a few weeks, as his patients recovered, he deteriorated, and eventually succumbed to the disease.

  The community rallied at his death, and thanks to donations from the locals, the cotton factory was turned into a permanent hospital and named it after the hero of the Collapse of Ought Six.
