Welcome to the Little Flower Clinic, a site with a rich history rooted in the community of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Originally established as a school, this location has witnessed significant historical events and transformations over the years.
In its early days, the land where the Little Flower Clinic now stands was part of the Haskell Agricultural College campus, contributing to the educational and agricultural development of the area. The college campus eventually became the site of a high school and junior high school, serving as a pivotal center for education in Broken Arrow.
As the town evolved, the school was repurposed to accommodate the growing needs of the community, eventually transforming into the Little Flower Clinic. This change reflects the broader historical context of Broken Arrow’s development, particularly after the economic stabilization brought about by the Braden Winch Company in the mid-20th century.
One notable figure associated with the area is Ralph Blane Hunsecker, better known by his stage name Ralph Blane. Born in Broken Arrow, Blane gained fame as a songwriter and was renowned for his work in movies and Broadway. His legacy includes directing the Disney World Christmas Chorale, opening with his famous song, ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’.
The clinic itself has adapted over time to meet the healthcare needs of the region, embodying the spirit of community service and resilience. Today, it stands as a testament to the enduring commitment of Broken Arrow’s residents to nurture and care for their community.
As you explore this area, imagine the bustling school corridors of the past and the many students who walked these grounds, each contributing to the vibrant tapestry of Broken Arrow’s history.
