Description
In 1945, Dubois County and the city of Jasper set a goal — the construction of a local hospital to relieve the critical shortage of hospital beds in the area. After six years of planning, development and construction, the Dubois County Memorial Hospital, so named as a Memorial in honor of our World War II fighting veterans, opened its doors for patients on July 23, 1951. The original $1,100,000 for construction and design costs came from a number of sources. Two local businessmen donated the land for the structure; three public fund drives were held to raise enough money to qualify for federal grants; and the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary donated a sizable amount of money toward the realization of what had truly become a community project.
