History Of Martin Memorial Health Systems
Martin Memorial was founded in 1939. The original hospital had 23 beds, three physicians, and 10 employees. The three founding physicians, Dr. Julian D. Parker, Dr. Van William Burns and Dr. Walter F. Davey, saw an average of eight patients a day.
Mr. and Mrs. William B. Slocum Barstow provided the land and building for the original hospital and nurse’s home. Mrs. Verner Z. Reed and Mr. Joseph V. Reed provided all furnishings and equipment.
The hospital was founded on the principles that patients should have access to medical treatment regardless of ability to pay, and treatment would be given to all people, regardless of race.
In 1956 the Martin Memorial Auxiliary began serving as volunteers for the hospital. By 2007 there were 800 volunteers providing 164,259 hours of service, the equivalent of 86 full-time employees.
In 1983 the Martin Memorial Foundation was created. It celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2008, having raised more than $64 million in funds that have helped provide high-quality care to the community.
In 1992, Martin Memorial Hospital became Martin Memorial Health Systems. The hospital became Martin Memorial Medical Center, and Martin Memorial Hospital South – a second facility – opened its doors.
In 1999, the Martin Memorial Cancer Center opened. It was renamed the Robert and Carol Weissman Cancer Center in 2005.
In 2006, the Frances Langford Heart Center opened.
