Emily L. Loveridge (1860–1941) was an American nurse, educator, school founder, and hospital superintendent. She established the first nursing school in the Northwestern United States at the Good Samaritan Hospital of Portland, Oregon (1890), the hospital having been founded fifteen years earlier by the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon. In 1906, she became the hospital's superintendent and had the distinction of her hospital being the largest Protestant hospital in the U.S. having a woman as superintendent.[1] In 1926, she was elected President of the Northwest Hospital Association.[2]
