History Of East Morgan County Hospital
The hospital in Brush opened in 1910 as Elim Hospital. In April 1954, a transition in hospital management took place with the Lutheran Hospitals and Home Society of Fargo, ND (now known as Banner Health) operating the hospital for the community. In 1963 a campaign begun to form a hospital district and in 1967 the East Morgan County Hospital District was dedicated and took ownership of the hospital, the same year the current building opened.
In December 2014, a 32,000-square-foot expansion was completed making EMCH a 19 single-patient rooms. The expansion paved the way for EMCH to bring back Labor and Delivery to our community. This expansion also created a new kitchen and dining area, main entry and lobby and a large state-of-the-art medical unit, enhanced technology, additional telemedicine capabilities and parking.
