History
Our History
When nine women opened KSB to the public on New Years Day in 1897 nearly 5000 local residents toured the new facility
Medical treatment was still in its infancy and most medicines were derivatives of herbs or flowers In the years that followed many building changes and additions were made on the site where the original hospital was built In the 1970s the hospital took part in the nationwide medical revolution opening the following departments
Intensive care unit February 1972
Medical arts clinic January 1973
Home care department June 1976
Cardiac evaluation and rehabilitation August 1977
Emergency department April 1978
Renal dialysis unit October 1978
Changes through the decades have ensured that the configuration of todays hospital meets the needs of current medical practices The latest addition to our comprehensive medical offerings came in June 2006 when the hospital marked the opening of a 3 million stateoftheart cardiovascular lab and a new endoscopy area
A look around at the various departments that make up KSB Hospital reveals a contemporary medical facility that is proud to offer patients the finest service possible yet is never content to rest on its past accomplishments
