Hutchinson Health Care history

Orvis Dean Box was the first baby to be born in the new hospital on October 26, 1937.

In 1941, there was a housing shortage in Borger, so in February of that year, the nurses' home adjacent to the hospital was added at a cost of $17,900.

In 1958, the hospital, which served over 50,000 county residents, boasted 25 maternity beds, 40 surgery beds, and 25 miscellaneous beds.

The idea of building a clinic for a group of doctors in downtown Hutchinson was a novel idea in 1959.

In 1961, these seven physicians and 25 employees occupied the first Clinic facility located at 12th and Main.

In 1975, the merger was one of the first of its kind in the nation.

The Clinic moved in 1978 to its current location at 2101 North Waldron.

Hutchinson Regional Medical Foundation – Since 1979, the Foundation has solicited and managed private donations that support patient care throughout HRHS.

Diana Cline of Borger won the contest in May 1984 with the name, Golden Plains Community Hospital.

The hospital officially opened its doors for business on November 13, 1989.

A new addition was built which opened in September of 1995.

In 1996, Hutchinson County Hospital District took over the operation of the Women's and Children's Clinic, which had previously been a project of the Texas Department of Health.

In 1997, the District built the Fritch Medical Clinic in the the nearby city of Fritch, Texas.

In the summer of 1999, the Clinic opened a campus building housing general surgery, allergy and neurology services.

Offering comprehensive services in a wide range of medical specialties, construction began again to add another 54,000 square feet, which was completed in December of 2000.

A 14,000 square foot Ambulatory Surgery Center opened in April 2002.

In March 2006, a 38,000 square foot medical facility opened, which houses our physical therapy and medical fitness center, along with orthopaedics, sports medicine, spine surgery, physiatry, dermatology, gastroenterology and urology.

The Dialysis Center of Hutchinson opened in August of 2007.

On May 2, 2011 the former Medical Center became the 1100 North Main Building of the Hutchinson Clinic.

In May 2013, the Hutchinson Clinic Walk-In Care facility was opened in South Hutchinson.

In February 2014, the Hutchinson Clinic added a Walk-In Care clinic to the 1100 North Main Building and re-branded our 2101 North Waldron Same Day Care location to a Walk-In Care clinic.
