The planning financing and construction of Guthrie County Hospital took over ten years but a foundation was laid by those who believed a hospital was needed in Guthrie County The first Board of Trustees appointed by the County Board of Supervisors met first in 1944 to find a suitable site and an architectural firm to draw building plans all beginning during World War II In 1949 bids were let for the construction The land on North 12th Street was eventually donated by Helen Sayles Brundage in memory of her parents who had owned the property during their lifetime Dedication day finally occurred October 7 1951
