History
 | | From its inception in 1948 Gerald Champion Memorial Hospital has been the beneficiary of a Board of Directors having a vision for the future. |
|  | |
 | | The vision guided GCMH from its humble beginning as a 24-bed hospital through a series of renovations in 1954, 1968, 1975, 1985, and 1992, culminating in this state-of-the-art 95 bed replacement medical center that we have today. |
| | |
 | | Like the first hospital Board that struggled with the challenging task of raising the $250,000 needed to build a new hospital in 1949, the current Board of Directors dedicated their time and talents to raising the necessary capital over a ten-year period to build a $35 million replacement hospital. |
| | |
 | | The current Board, building upon the foundation laid by their visionary predecessors, used operating efficiencies and new services to build working capital reserves sufficient to secure the needed debt and equity to complete this modern replacement facility. |
| | |
 | | The first 50 years we witnessed challenging, yet exciting, opportunities as new healthcare technologies and services were added to meet the demands of our community. |
| | |
 | | This new replacement medical center, one of the first in the new millennium, is well designed to move us forward into the new century. |
| | |
 | | The evolution of excellence is more than a theme for Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center. This is a process that launched our small hospital to continue the evolutionary growth to become a state-of-the-art medical facility and major employer in the community. |
GCRMC has over 500 employees. As a private, nonprofit organization, we actively return our resources in quality healthcare services to the community.
The evolution of excellence represents continuous change and improvement. The evolution of excellence is Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center. | |
