History

Hunt Regional Healthcare facilities in Hunt County trace their origins to the 1950s

At that time a group of concerned citizens determined that hospital and medical care needs of this area could best be met by a public openstaffed hospital

The Greenville Hospital Authority was created by the City of Greenville to consolidate three private Greenville hospitals
