History

A Tradition of Personal Care and Local Commitment

The opening of Methodist Hospital in 1973 was a culmination of a decadelong effort to expand health care services for a rural community in need When Methodist Hospital opened its doors the City of Sacramento found a solution to the overall bed shortage and the pressing problem of not having a local hospital in the south part of town

In a letter signed by the State of California Governors Office Edmund G Brown dated May 18 1965 founder Justice Frank K Richardson was commended for his efforts to establish a hospital under the auspices of the Methodist Church In the letter Governor Brown expressed his concern for the welfare of the sick and injured citizens as the rapid growth in population far outstripped the expansion of the total hospital capability of the area quotYour plans for prompt construction of 169 acute beds in the South Area will be a major step toward relieving the pressure on existing hospitals and reducing the overall bed shortage I heartily commend your group for its ambitious and imaginative approach toward the solution of a pressing community problemquot

In 1993 Methodist Hospital signed an affiliation agreement with Mercy Healthcare Sacramento The affiliation allowed Methodist Hospital to continue its commitment to providing care to a growing community while also enhancing services such as cardiac care and trauma through other Mercy hospitals in the Sacramento Valley

Now more than three decades later Methodist Hospital has grown with the community serving millions of people And just as the south part of the county has blossomed into a vital community healthcare resources have grown from the quotlittle hospital south of townquot into a comprehensive medical campus with a Family Birth Center surgical services diagnostic imaging services an Orthopedics amp Sports Medicine Center including hand therapy rehabilitation services and a Family Practice Residency Program just to name a few
