Plymouth Campus
1910 Dr TA Borton and Dr NB Aspinall build a threestory facility at 310 N Michigan in Plymouth Ind The first two floors serve as a facility for the treatment of substance abuse and the third story serves as a general hospital

During the same time period local resident Julia Work who conducts a home and school for dependent children just north of Plymouth purchases six acres of land across from Centennial Park She moves one of the frame cottages from her Childrens Home in Brightside to the new site

1914 A partnership is formed when Aspinall moves his personal equipment into Works cottage on North Michigan Street and opens the Aspinall Sanitarium and Hospital

1921 A group of concerned citizens form the Marshall County Hospital Association

1926 The Association purchases the small hospital building for 11000

1931 The Association makes plans for a threelevel brick addition to accommodate 20 additional beds The first floor includes nine patient rooms and one sixbed ward while the second floor includes seven private rooms another sixbed ward and an operating room The basement houses an emergency ward and storage rooms Construction begins and the facility is renamed Parkview Hospital

1935 When the Depression makes it difficult to continue construction the City of Plymouth steps in and issues bonds for the outstanding amount of the addition During this time it becomes clear that overseeing such a facility is too much for a voluntary association

1941 The hospital is donated to the Marshall County Board of Commissioners with the request that another addition be built Facility is renamed Marshall County Parkview Hospital

1958 Groundbreaking is held for a milliondollar facility addition The 1914 wood structure is demolished and 65 beds are added 25 surgical 20 medical 18 maternity and two for maximumsecurity patients

1986 Hospital moves to a new facility in a new location southwest of downtown Plymouth on SR 17 In the next 10 years construction of new highways make the community more accessible while the addition of new business to the area increases the communitys work force

1993 The hospital is renamed once again to become Saint Josephs Hospital of Marshall County

Today
The Plymouth hospital is known as Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center The facility has expanded to include physician offices conveniently located on campus Nearly every department has had some form of expansion or renovation with several in the works
