HISTORY OF SEQUOYAH MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
Sequoyah Memorial originated August 24 1949 as a 24bed short term general hospital It was financed by a Sequoyah County Bond Issue and HillBurton Grant In 1965 the citizens of Sequoyah County again voted in favor of a bond issue which along with a second HillBurton Grant made possible an addition to the hospital Total bed capacity was increased to 41 and a modern surgical suite obstetrical delivery room and emergency center were constructed to expand the realm of services

A third county bond issue was passed in 1967 for the purpose of total renovation of the original hospital patient wing including the addition of new Dietary and Laboratory departments Radiology Services were incorporated into the scope of patient care in 1968 Administrative and business offices were built in 1970 and on October 26 1980 an open house for the community was held to celebrate the completion of another construction and renovation project which increased patient care capacity

Financing for this project was made possible through the formation of a CityCounty Trust and by the approval of an additional city sales tax for improvements made through the trust In 1986 Mammography equipment was acquired in Radiology Home Health services joined Sequoyah Memorial in 1990 to provide continuing health care for the patient at home The year 1990 was also the beginning of Rehabilitative Services which offered physical and occupational therapy Hospice care evolved in 1994 to provide home health care for patients in the final stages of life Services to meet personal care needs were included with Extended Care in 1995
