History

Pattie A Clay Regional Medical Center was founded in 1892 and inspired by one woman Pattie Amelia Field Clay but it has been the entire community that has helped us change to meet the everchanging health care needs of Madison and the surrounding counties

Originally led by an all volunteer staff and a seven member board the infirmary has grown into a modern 105bed acute care facility delivering primary and extensive secondary level health care services for Madison the surrounding counties

For more than a century the Richmond community has been translating compassion into a quality medical facility Triumphing over challenges Pattie A Clay Regional Medical Center takes great pride in its rich history of medical excellence community involvement and personal dedication

A Supportive Community Pattie A Clay Infirmary was opened in October 1892 in a twostory brick cottage donated by Brutus J Clay in memory of his wife Pattie Amelia who had died the previous year Until Clays generous donation the communitys goal of buying property for such a facility seemed an unattainable dream The community supported the infirmary by donating funds linens and even goods such as flour coal eggs and clothes for patients In its first 30 years of operation the hospital experienced a dramatic increase in demand for medical services as the population in the surrounding areas increased

Thanks to community financial support in 1927 a new threestory brick building was dedicated and the hospital staff continually improved services and kept pace with increasing needs

By the 1960s the facility was antiquated and crowded New federal Medicare requirements made a new facility imperative After widespread community involvement in May 1970 a modern hospital was completed and in 1980 it was renovated and expanded to keep pace with medical advances Those advances continued at a rapid rate during 1980s and 1990s

In 1993 the hospital became affiliated with Jewish Hospital Health Network a partnership that lasted nine years During that time the hospital completed construction of a threestory medical complex with an enclosed pedestrian walkway connecting it to the hospital a 103 million expansion of the emergency laboratory radiology and surgery departments and began the expansion and renovation of the Womens Care Center The medical center is responsible for maintaining and successfully managing its budget and reinvesting funds to improve the quality of care and expand services for the community

The original hospital missionto care for all members of our community regardless of the patients race creed or ability to paystill guides us today And just as in the past the medical centers true promise for the future lies in its partnership with the community

Pattie A Clay Regional Medical Center continues to be led by the Pattie A Clay Infirmary Association which is comprised of seven women from seven churches in Richmond who carry on the vision of the Clays
