Morrison Community Hospital

Morrison Community Hospital

The first emergency health measures in Morrison, Illinois were organized by the Women’s League in a residence they owned at the corner of Lincolnway and Genesee Street. In 1930, Dr. W. J. Maurits opened an office on the first floor at 219 East Main Street, with the Hospital operating on the second floor. This was so successful that on June 10, 1942 (after donations and bond issues), the Morrison City Hospital was opened on North Jackson Street, providing 16 beds for patients.

By 1954, the Hospital again expanded to 32 beds and became Morrison Community Hospital. In 1974, a $3 million expansion came, increasing the bed capacity to 84 beds until 8 OB beds were discontinued in 1991. Today there are 60 beds. 25 are acute care and skilled nursing and 35 are long term care.
