History

HISTORY
Boundary Community Hospital has been in existence for 104 years and in its present location for 56 years The current twostory structure is the third in a long history Dr EE Fry opened the first hospital in 1907

Eleven years later when more space was needed it moved to the site presently occupied by the Community Restorium across from the existing hospital In 1955 a twostory hospital was constructed across the street on the current site The skilled nursing facility was added in 1966

Twenty five years later the community supported a 5 million bond issue to completely renovate and expand the hospital and nursing home A new outpatient clinic was also constructed at that time

Most recently the hospital purchased two physician offices adjacent to the hospital and constructed a 3600 square foot stateoftheart medical services building for two physician practices In 1998 BCH purchased an additional 15 acres of land for future development adjacent to the new medical services building
