The hospital was opened in 1910.[1] The hospital had a net loss of $2.25 million (including depreciation) over the previous five years. It was placed on the market in January 1998.[3] It was sold in September 2000, and ceased operations on 14 March 2001 despite recently having received $250,000 in refurbishments.[2] A separate source reports it was closed since 2006.[1]
In 2020, an unsuccessful Change.org petition was signed by 2400 community members to reopen the hospital in wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]
