Better Nurses by Farr

Elsa Farr has donated in excess of $20 million from her trust to support LVHHN nurses

The Allentown Hospital School of Nursing students knew if they wanted quality nursing shoes to start their careers, they could find them at Farr Brothers Shoe Stores. Farr Brothers sold comfortable shoes for those long hours on your feet.
The shoe stores closed in the mid-1980s, but the Farrs’ reputation for offering the best to nurses continues. Elsa Farr, wife of shoe store proprietor Harvey Farr, has donated in excess of $20 million from her trust to support LVHHN nurses who want to return to school, attend professional conferences, earn special certifications and pursue other professional excellence presentations. It’s the second largest single gift the hospital has ever received.
