A bronze plaque located at
the entrance to the building simply states, “A memorial to the heroes of
our community we must not forget”. The laying of the cornerstone
occurred on October 2, 1949. Residents, former residents, business
people, and corporations of Mendota and the surrounding communities
donated all the funds required to build and equip the original hospital.
The hospital was, in every sense of the word, a community project.
For many years the
facility built in 1951 served the health care needs of the area.

added, and health care needs changed, the hospital underwent
remodeling and new construction. In 1980 the ICU and ER were added,
in 1989 a 7,543 square foot surgery was added on the west side, in
1991
Food Service was expanded and remodeled, and in
