Circa 1907-1909 The Trull Hospital, Biddeford's first hospital, was opened on May Street in June of 1900. At the time it was built the medical profession was divided into two camps, allopathic and homeopathic. The Trull hospital was the first homeopathic hospital opened in Maine. It was named after Dr. Frank J. Trull, its founder. The hospital burned down in 1906 but was quickly rebuilt. A nursing school was also run out of the hospital while it was in operation. Sometime before its closure the hospital operated as a convalescent home.

It’s been said that using sign language with babies can: - reduce frustration (for babies and their caregivers) - increase vocabulary and comprehension (hello, early literacy skills!) - strengthen bonding and social skills … and much more! Have you tried baby sign language with your little ones? We’d love to hear about your experience! Check out more books like this one, "My First Book of Baby Signs" by Lane Rebelo, in our Parent Resource Section. https://minerva.maine.edu/record=b4004170~S21
