Lutheran General Hospital
 The Chicago hospital referred to in the
accomplishments for Sister Ingeborg Sponland is now Lutheran General
Hospital, Park Ridge, Illinois. The motherhouse in Chicago, founded by
Norwegian Lutherans, was known for the large number of sisters who
served on mission fields in Madagascar, Sudan, India, China, Japan and
Alaska. Another Norwegian, Sister Elisabeth Fedde, who returned to
Norway from her work at the Lutheran hospital in Brooklyn, is known as
the “borrowed” sister.
