History

An eccentric music teacher who went by the name of Professor Clark began to construct a mansion he called Hollyhurst to impress his fianceacutee The fianceacutee must not have been impressed enough however She jilted Clark before the mansion was complete The heartbroken Clark abandoned the mansion and the mortgage holder took possession The mortgage holders name Henry Hayes

Mr Hayes did not desire to live in Hollyhurst so he hired a housekeeper to take care of the place Her name R Ellen Green

For years Mr Hayess intention was to eventually donate the mansion to Eaton County for the establishment of the countys first modern hospital but he died before completing his plan Ms Green honored his wishes however and in 1933 she donated the mansion to the Eaton County Board of Supervisors now Board of Commissioners and the hospital was dubbed the Hayes Green Hospital

Less than two decades later the local healthcare demands already had outgrown the mansion In the early 1950s a major fundraising effort led to the construction of a new facility neighboring the mansion The fundraising effort was spearheaded by a local philanthropist named Fitch H Beach

Largely driven by the charitable support of the local community the hospital has continued to make progress in healthcare quality most notably with the recent completion of Imagine HGB in 2005 Now the hospital stands poised as a place where Eaton County residents can confidently receive quality care from highcaliber physicians and professionals with a wide range of capabilities and extensive relationships
