In
1962-63 the nurse's dorm at the hospital was converted to
a 23-bed skilled nursing facility with room for a physical
therapy department, a respiratory therapy department and a
medical records department.
In 1970 a portion of the hospital's first floor was converted
into an intensive and coronary care unit and an addition to
house administration, in-service education, purchasing and
storage was built.
February 1981 saw the dedication of a new $750,000 laboratory-radiology
complex.
Through the years the hospital served the community well,
but as the community grew and the hospital building aged,
it became apparent that facility improvement were necessary.
In 1985 a campaign was begun that raise the necessary funds
for the renovation of the older facility and construction
of a new building at a cost of $7.5 million. New construction
was added to the front of the then existing hospital and housed
the medical/surgical unit, laboratory, surgical suite, Gift
Shop and reception/lobby area.
