Description

Putnam County Memorial Hospital in Unionville Missouri is a not for profit county wide hospital Our mission is to provide enhanced quality patient care and provide comprehensive medical services to the residents of Putnam County and its surrounding areas



History

Prior to the establishment of Putnam County Memorial Hospital the health care needs of Putnam County residents were provided by the Monroe Hospital which was located 1 block South of the square in Unionville Missouri

In 1957 the Missouri State Hospital Facilities Committee mandated improvements necessary to keep the facility open

At that time Dr L W McDonald and Dr C L Judd approached the local Rotary and Lions Clubs explaining the improvements required for the facility to remain open

Through coordination efforts of the Lions and the Rotary Clubs a hospital committee was appointed After nearly six years of work on September 29 1963 Putnam County Memorial Hospital was dedicated The first patient was admitted on October 13th of that year

In 1969 a 14 bed annex was dedicated when it became apparent that the facility did not have adequate space to accommodate the needs of the community

Today the hospital structure sits much as it did when it was dedicated in 1969 However the services offered have changed dramatically

The original hospital provided acute care obstetrics and surgery As with the changing of time the way medical treatment is given is continually changing as well Medicine is vastly different today than it was in 1963

Today Putnam County Memorial Hospitals main services are outpatient and specialty clinics yet we still maintain a highly effective acute care facility

If we were just staying steady in the field of medicine we would be moving backward and the world would pass us by As we are changing with the times we are continually upgrading our equipment to provide specialty studies as well as continuing education for all ancillaries we strive to keep up with the changes that have been made from 1963 to today
