History Of Castle Medical Center
** Our Hospital’s History **
Though medicine has seen many changes since the hospital was founded, Castle Medical Center has never lost sight of the human side of health care. Today, Castle’s commitment to providing innovative health care is still coupled with concern for each patient’s physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Since Castle first opened its doors in 1963, the hospital’s primary mission has been to meet the needs of the community. Forty-five years ago, Windward residents welcomed their new hospital with sighs of relief. Finally, care was available close to home.
The following month, the state Board of Health approved the proposed hospital, and federal funds were made available.
The $2 million facility opened January 16, 1963, a little more than a year after ground was broken. Castle Memorial Hospital, named after Harold K.L. Castle who donated the land, opened with 72 beds and 14 bassinets. In 1983, the hospital changed its name to Castle Medical Center to reflect the growth into outpatient services and programs.
