Winston C. Hackett

Hackett moved to Phoenix in 1916 and established his medical practice in his home which was located at 729 W. Sherman Street.

Hackett also saw to the needs of white patients with socially stigmatized ailments who were denied medical care.

In 1921, Hackett purchased the residence of former Territorial Governor Joseph Kibbey which was located next door to his house at 1342 E. Jefferson St.

There were many people seeking more affordable health care and there were those who needed clandestine treatment for sexually transmitted diseases.

Other factors that had an influence on the hospital's economy were the unpaid bills of some of his patients and his failing eyesight.

The inn served and accommodated African-American servicemen during World War II and was frequented by many non-white educators, entertainers and athletes.

This lasted until full racial integration was achieved in Phoenix during the Civil Rights era.

On November 13 of that same year she died in her home and was later buried in Phoenix's Greenwood/Memory Lawn Mortuary & Cemetery.
