History
The early 1900s were exciting times geysers of rich crude oil spewed through wooden derricks into the sky Farmers were finding the dark valley soil would produce a myriad of bountiful crops Along the dusty streets of what was once Colonel Bakers field oilfield workers farmers and merchants brushed shoulders with weary travelers coming west to fulfill their dreams in the golden state
But dangerous jobs and the influx of people also meant accidents and diseases Two nurses Margaret Quinn and Mary ODonnell realized Bakersfield needed a new hospital to care for its citizens They purchased a quarterblock site at quot27thquot and Eye Streets and began building a threestory building that would house 26 patients They proudly named their new institution San Joaquin Hospital San Joaquin Hospital admitted its first patient on October 6 1910 In 1964 the word community was added to the name to reflect the hospitals focus on serving the community Today almost a century later San Joaquin Community Hospital is still committed to delivering quality health care In 1987 the hospital formally affiliated with the Seventhday Adventist Church as a member of the Adventist Health system Although a Christian hospital before that time this also formalized San Joaquin Community Hospitals commitment as a faithbased organization
Yes the hospital has seen many changes and plenty of technological advancements since it admitted its first patient in 1910 but some things have remained constant Everything we do comes back to serving our patients and our community San Joaquin Community Hospital is in the midst of a construction project to ensure we are prepared to serve our community for many years to come
