Our History
1951 – On Mother’s Day in 1951, the original Hiawatha Community Hospital facility opened to patients. It was built through donations from local citizens, and it has continued today as a community-owned facility without any tax subsidies.
1960s – The citizens of the community fundraised to add five patient rooms and an elevator. Five years later The Solarium, located on the west end of the main level, was constructed from funds donated by the Middlebrook family. In 1968, the north wing was added.
1979 – The three-level east wing addition was added in 1979.
2000–2003 – A major renovation was completed in 2000, dedicating the south wing of the hospital building to the outpatient specialty clinic and finishing the lower level of the north wing. A few years later in 2003, the surgery department was renovated.
2011 – In 2011, the Medical Office Building addition was completed, which is home to the Business Office, Primary Care Clinic, Outpatient Specialty Clinic, Gift Shop, Cardiac Rehab, Physical Therapy, and the MRI.
2021 – In March 2021, Hiawatha Community Hospital and the associated clinic in Highland, KS affiliated with Amberwell Health as Amberwell Health Hiawatha, which provided the opportunity for economies of scale, expense sharing, and enhanced care coordination.
