History

Artesia General Hospital officially opened as a 28bed hospital in September 1939 The facility was funded by the City of Artesia with Artesia residents raising the money necessary to equip the hospital

After a succession of organizations managing the hospital local citizens voted in the 1970s to establish a special hospital district and in 1978 the Artesia Special Hospital District assumed responsibility of the hospital from the City

A new hospital licensed for 34 beds was completed in October of 1981 and that facility served the community well for more than 20 years However as the number of services offered has increased additional space was needed for the hospital In 2006 a 67000 foot addition was completed The new area allows for expanded patient care services

In 2007 the facility built in 1981 will receive a makeover The remodeled area will house expanded support services a medical clinic and administrative offices

Community Hospital Corporation has leased the hospital from the ASHD since 1999 AGH is a community based notforprofit hospital All monies made by AGH remain in Artesia
