History
Following is information taken from Ten Year History of Guthrie County Hospital by E S Hudson Origin of Guthrie County Hospital by Earl W Vincent Fifty Years of History of Guthrie County Hospital by the 2001 History Committee and from various departments within the hospital
The planning financing and construction of Guthrie County Hospital took over ten years but a foundation was laid by those who believed a hospital was needed in Guthrie County The first Board of Trustees appointed by the County Board of Supervisors met first in 1944 to find a suitable site and an architectural firm to draw building plans all beginning during World War II In 1949 bids were let for the construction The land on North 12th Street was eventually donated by Helen Sayles Brundage in memory of her parents who had owned the property during their lifetime Dedication day finally occurred October 7 1951
Due in part to government regulations patients were eventually being sent to other facilities and the number of patients began to decline Since that time many specialties utilized by larger hospitals have been added as has the required education for the staff Now within the hospital is a Laboratory Pharmacy Radiology Department Respiratory Therapy Physical Therapy Cardiac Rehabilitation Emergency Department and stateoftheart Surgery Department as well as a Specialty Clinic and Orthopedic Clinic supported by an experienced and knowledgeable Medical Staff GCH Family Medicine Clinics are now in Panora and Adair Supporting departments have all enlarged over the years to keep up with the growth
