History

Marshalls History
In the late 1950s a group of local citizens saw a great need for improved healthcare services in El Dorado County The citizens formed a committee to petition the state of California for a nonprofit charter under which a hospital could be built and operated As a result of this plans were drawn funds were solicited Michigan California lumber company donated land for a hospital site and Marshall Hospital opened its doors in 1959 A group of dedicated employees worked hard to make the original 30 bed hospital a success

Marshall Medical Center derives its name from the pioneer James Marshall who discovered gold at Sutters Mill a few miles north of Placerville
