Our History
The Holton Community Hospital was formally opened on May 12th 1938 The original hospital was located at 418 West 5th Street Dr Roy Moser and Dr Ernest Moser purchased the property and had it remodeled by local people into a suitable facility After being in operation for only a year the hospital was quickly becoming cramped so an addition was planned Four new rooms a nursery a basement and an elevator were all added by 1940 In 1945 they built new clinic offices with a pharmacy The rooms in the hospital that had been used for offices were now turned into patient rooms adding eight additional beds making a total of twentyone On July 1st 1948 Dr Ross Moser joined Dr Roy amp Dr Ernest in practice In 1949 a new wing was added to the existing building It was a one story fireresistant building made of Haydite blocks It stood in front of the old frame building and was connected to it by an enclosed ramp This unit was entirely patient rooms because the kitchen operating room delivery room and XRay room were in the old building In 1954 an additional building program was planned It consisted of twelve new patient rooms all having private halfbaths Since this new addition was to replace most of the old building it also had a nursery delivery room operating room central supply sterilizing room medicine room formula room nurses dining room offices kitchen and space for radiology services with a dark room The old original frame building was then demolished In 1957 a new addition to the Moser Clinic building was completed as it was becoming too crowded This new addition included a second larger waiting room four exam rooms an emergency room laboratory and eye examination room In 1966 the administrative demands of Medicare started to increase leaving less time for patient care so the decision was made to give the hospital to the City of Holton At this time the Holton Hospital became the Holton City Hospital and was controlled by an elected threemember hospital board that hired a full time administrator In 1972 Dr Roy amp Dr Ernest retired from the practice In 1985 Frank Gilliland the registered pharmacist at the clinic purchased the clinic building He built a new structure on the west side of the Moser Clinic building and east side of the Holton City Hospital that would allow space for two more doctors Dr Ross Moser retired from practice on August 1 1985 As time continued and more expansion and updating was needed the hospital board started looking into updating the existing structure or constructing a whole new facility The decision was made in 1990 to change the name of the hospital from Holton City Hospital to Holton Community Hospital to reflect the broadened support In 1993 a fundraising campaign began with the intention of building a new hospital facility Fundraising continued over the next four years Construction of the new facility began in September of 1997 and was completed in November of 1998 The new facility opened its doors on January 4 1999
