History

History of Reedsburg Area Medical Center
Reedsburg Area Medical Center has a long tradition of service to the community The first hospital in Reedsburg was founded in 1902 by Dr Adelbert Edwards This hospital was housed in a former residence Once remodeled the two story building provided 11 rooms serving both medical and surgical patients As the community grew its healthcare needs expanded until the first hospital no longer proved adequate to serve the communitys growth

In August 1932 a public referendum resulted in a decision to proceed with a municipal hospital After six months of construction the hospital located on North Park Street
was open in 1933

This hospital held 31 adult beds and had a nursery capacity of 12 Nearly 20 years later in 1953 this hospital added 20 beds

By the spring of 1969 the hospital purchased 72 acres of undeveloped land on Reedsburgs north side This was later to become the site of the present facility

In June of 1972 the Edward Snyder Memorial Nursing Home a 50 bed long term care facility was opened

In February of 1976 our present hospital opened its doors and within three months the adjacent clinic opened
