THE Davis Hospital, originally known as the Human Hospital Davis North, opened in the fall of 1976. A dedication and open house wee held on Sept. 25 of that year.
Ground was broken on the 22-acre site in late 1974. A silo and several farm buildings had to be demolished to make room for the facility, at 1600 Antelope Drive.
The $8 million hospital, with more than 90,000-square feet of floor space, began as a four story structure, with 100-beds and was expanded over the decades.
Humana Healthcare was the original owner and today Steward Health Care operates the hospital.
