Histori
Virginia "Jennie" Gilmer is widely recognized as the founder of Anderson County Hospital, which later became AnMed Health. In 1903, during the birth of his second child, Gilmer vowed that if he were alive he would make sure the hospital was built in Anderson. Gilmer survived the delivery, and in May 1904, he and a small group of women started a fund-raising campaign for the hospital.
The Anderson County Hospital Association was organized and founded in 1906, and fundraising efforts are increasing under associate president Richard S. Ligon. The Anderson County Hospital opened its doors on April 20, 1908, and received his first patient a day later.
