A week later.
Carlisle Maternal and Child Health Hospital officially opened.
Ave Carlisle spent a great deal on inviting major news media to create a buzz for the hospital's opening.
The air was filled with the sounds of gongs and drums, and the crackling of fireworks, as two pairs of Southern lions danced in front of the hospital's small square, moving in rhythm. Their dynamic performance earned rounds of applause from the spectators.
Floral wreaths from the Atkinson Group Empire, the Pay Group, River State First Hospital, and various other units, groups, companies, and individuals were piled up at the hospital's entrance like a small mountain.
