History

The hospital first opened on August 30, 1955 in a building constructed using monies from the Hill–Burton Act and community fundraising, and land donated by Garfield County. The original building was a 22,000-square-foot (2,000-square-meter) single-story, 35-bed hospital. The Mennonite Board of Missions and Charities was engaged to manage the hospital initially. Today, the hospital operates as an independent, non-profit health system.
