History

History
The serious need for a hospital became apparent to the people of Harvey
in 1910 when an association was formed and a stock company was
organized for the purpose of building a hospital Ground was broken
January 23 1913 and the hospital incorporated that year The Harvey
Hospital was opened March 23 1914 by the Clark Brothers assisted by Dr
Nugent and a woman doctor The Hospital rendered efficient service but
was shortlived due to financial difficulty

The Harvey Hospital was reorganized in 1916 with a change of directors
Dr Robert Reimche was in residence assisted by Dr Robb until the death
of Dr Reimche in 1918 The Hospital management was then assumed by
Dr Titzel a surgeon from Des Moines Iowa but without success and the
hospital was closed The building came into use first as an apartment
house and then for classrooms for the Harvey Public School

Dr John J Seibel reopened the building as a private hospital in 1927 and
continued until the early 1930s when it was operated as the Lutheran
Good Samaritan Hospital In June 1938 the stockholders offered the
hospital for sale to the Reverend Charles A Eck Pastor of the St Cecelia
Catholic Church

After deciding to accept the offer of the stockholders the Sisters took
charge in the morning of October 16 1938 and the hospital has
successfully served the community since that time Their desire was to
respond to community needs and heal as Jesus heals SMP took over the
operation of the existing hospital building opened in 1910 The first baby
born in the new establishment was Duane Holzer of Manfred ND on
October 18 1938

Where many others had failed the Sisters of Mary of the Presentation have
operated the hospital as a vital service to the area embracing many towns
in numerous counties with infallible faith and devotion to the sick without
regard to race or creed

In 1943 the hospital was enlarged and improved to meet the existing
needs and demands of both the Harvey community plus surrounding
areas

In 1958 a new 51bed hospital was built and dedicated while the old
building was converted into a nursing homeA new extended care facility was built with 56 beds and dedicated in 1974
