History

History of Rochester Methodist Hospital
In 1906 John H Kahler started a company to build additional hospital facilities for patients in close proximity to the Mayo brothers offices in downtown Rochester He built dualpurpose hotelhospitals complete with operating rooms

In the early 1950s the Kahler Corporation opted to get out of the hospital business A group of citizens including former US Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun then a Mayo Clinic legal counsel persuaded the Methodist Church to assume sponsorship of the hospitals in 1954 In 1966 the older facilities were replaced with a new 794bed facility dedicated as Rochester Methodist Hospital

In 1986 Mayo Clinic RMH and Saint Marys Hospital integrated their operations under one governing board to more efficiently serve the needs of Mayo patients
