History :
Morgan Hospital & Medical Center came into existence in 1924, when J.W. and Callie Hussey presented the health care facility (then called Memorial Hospital) as a gift of love to the community. The Husseys donated the hospital in memory of their son, Jason, who died following a traffic accident. They believed that if a hospital had been close by, their son might not have died and they wished to spare others the tragedy they had endured.
We constantly strive to keep our facilities current and progressive, and to provide state-of-the art technology. Originally located on Main Street, the 84-bed hospital was relocated in 1958. By the mid-1970s, Morgan Hospital & Medical Center had gone through a period of unprecedented growth. An ongoing renovation program enabled the hospital to offer more than twice the number of ancillary services than it had initially. Additions to the facility were made in the 1970’s, with a new Critical Care Unit, Emergency Room, Laboratory and Radiology Services. The Physician Health Center was added in 1995.
The Hospital maintains its Patient Accounts and HomeCare operations at 1375 E. Morgan Street. Several staff physicians maintain their private practices in close proximity to the hospital.
Since its inception, Morgan Hospital & Medical Center has been governed by a local Board of Trustees. Quality, cost-effective health care and strong fiscal management have eliminated the need for a county tax to support the health care facility, even though it is owned by the residents of Morgan County. Today, MHMC is licensed for 106 beds and is truly a community, public, non-profit hospital and medical center.
