Description
About The Hospital
William V Tucker Elkharts first pioneer doctor came in 1913 In the 20s Elkhart was a thriving metropolis of 3900 citizens Dr Tuckers practice grew until his small house which he used as a clinic was filled to capacity At this time Dr Tucker hired Dr Hansen and began building the TuckerHansen Hospital
During the Depression the Dust Bowl blew in and the people of the Southwest flew out In 1930 there were 4900 residents living in Morton County By 1933 only 1800 people remained Dr Tucker became concerned Patients became fewer and collections fewer still Because of the severity of the economy the hospital was purchased by Morton County
After almost 40 years of service to Elkhart and the surrounding community the old hospital building on Kansas Ave became obsolete Plans were made for new facilities On Sunday September 15 1957 a dedication program and open house were set for the new hospital which had been constructed at 445 Hilltop
Remodeling programs have taken place at the hospital from 1975 to 2000 Beds have been added to the original fifteenbed hospital along with some of the most technologically advanced equipment imaginable for a hospital of its size Currently we have 40 Acute Care 2 Labor 4 ICU 2 Same Day Surgery and 10 Geropsychiatric Beds
We have doctors specializing in surgery internal medicine general medicine radiology and psychiatry combined with equipment and services including XRay CAT Scan Mammography Ultrasound Respiratory Care Physical Therapy Laboratory and Geropsychiatric Unit
