History
The hospital received its first patient on April 14, 1956. Since then, the hospital has undergone several renovations and expansions. In 1964, it expanded to include 13 additional patient rooms, a second x-ray room, a new recovery room, a second nurse station and a communications system, an enlarged medical record room and a cafeteria bar in the dining room, solarium, examination room, doctor's library, lounges/conferences, new pantry, enlarged business offices, relocated chapels, new child wards, expanded basements, improved laundry and maintenance facilities, autopsy room and morgue and additional elevators.
In 1973, a medical pavilion was built on the south side of the facility with room for six doctors offices.
In 1982, the original southern patient wing was dismantled to allow the construction of a six-bed heart intensive care unit. Also added in 1982 were the relocated and enlarged emergency departments, a two-room renewed x-ray department, improved medical record facilities, larger laboratories and respiratory therapy departments that had been relocated and upgraded.
An additional 1994 includes a sophisticated surgical room, recovery room and outpatient procedure room. The new patient registration area was built in conjunction with the renovation and expansion of the emergency unit into 7 beds.
The federal Budget Act of 1997 created the Access Critical Hospital Program as a safety net to ensure Medicare beneficiaries access to health services in rural areas. After this, Massac Memorial was designated a Critical Access Hospital.
Recent renovations and construction projects include three separate building additions, including 12 new private patient rooms, special care unit, emergency department, Imaging department, outpatient registration, outpatient lobby, souvenir shop, laboratory, recovery room, and business office.
