History
Spooner Health System began as a 25bed single story community generated hospital with a fourbed OB unit included In 1964 an addition was completed that included a ninebed OB section increasing total capacity to 32 beds A solarium was added to the south end of the hospital building at the same time for improved convalescence In 1965 a 50bed nursing home complex was built adjacent to the hospital and connecting rooms housed the administrative offices

The hospital quickly outgrew and outdated itself Plans were started in 1969 for a new updated facility The new hospital was built two stories high with room for expansion of a third floor in the future if needed The new facility was completed and dedicated in 1975 Administrative staff were housed on the main floor patient care rooms cardiac care OB ward were all on the second floor Xray physical therapy inservice education were all located in the lower level At this time the old hospital building was converted to longterm care patients and a 90bed longterm care license was obtained

In the late 80s plans were made to update the nursing home by remodeling and adding new wings to the existing nursing home building and eliminating the old buildings This plan was completed and dedication occurred in 1992 The nursing home remained 90 bed but multiple private rooms were now available

Major remodeling and additions were completed in the hospital starting in the mid 1990s New operating room suites emergency room entrance and treatment rooms were created administration was relocated physical therapy and xray services were moved to easily accessible ground floor areas and all major patient care diagnostic equipment was updated to stateoftheart levels Acute care inpatient rooms were downsized in number but outpatient care departments were increased in size The hospital was physically extended to connect with the onsite family practice care clinic located on the premises The name of the facility was changed to Spooner Health System officially in August of 1998
