Calif. Oakland Fabiola hospital association

The Fabiola Hospital Association was not a single author in the usual sense, but a charitable organization in Oakland, California. Sources describe Fabiola Hospital as a women-founded institution established in 1876, with the association helping run the hospital, support nursing work, and expand services for the community.

Its best-known book credit is Thoughts: Selected from the Writings of Favorite Authors, published in 1901. Project Gutenberg lists the association as creator, while the book itself says it was prepared by the "Ladies of Fabiola Hospital Association" and credits Jessie K. Freeman and Sarah S. B. Yule in connection with the compilation and copyright.

That background gives the book an appealing context: rather than presenting original literary work, the association gathered favorite passages into a volume that reflects the civic, educational, and charitable spirit of the people behind the hospital. Little else is clearly documented about the association as a publishing body, so it is best understood as a community institution that left behind a small but distinctive literary record.
