Some History: Governor Ross Barnett was the principal speaker at the
hospital dedication ceremony on November 28, 1961 and the hospital originally opened on January 2, 1962, with a construction cost of $500,000. It
offered 30 acute care beds, surgery, delivery room and emergency services.
Room rates at this time were $9.00 a day, semi-private and $12.50 a day
private (ah, the good old days).
The first expansion for the facility was in 1969, which opened up 40
beds for use as a nursing home. In 1974, the hospital "West Wing"
was opened and brought our capacity to 26
acute care beds. Later, the original acute wing was renovated into nursing
home space providing 17 additional beds. In November, 2000, our new nursing
home expansion was opened with 72 nursing home beds and 2 personal care beds
as well as a larger dining room/activity room area, shower/bath facilities
and office space.
