Hoopeston Regional Health Center offers a history rich in dedication and commitment to providing the residents of Hoopeston and the surrounding communities quality health care services.
Hoopeston Community Memorial HospitalConceived in 1956 by Dr. Werner Fliesser, long-time Hoopeston physician, Hoopeston Community Memorial Hospital, Inc. was created as a not-for-profit corporation. The hospital opened its door in July of 1962 with the assistance of Lutheran Hospital and Homes Society who owned and operated the facility.
In 1972, a 50-bed skilled nursing home was constructed adjacent to the hospital. To meet the growing needs of the community and area, the Hoopeston Community Memorial Nursing Home added an additional 25-beds in 1995, to offer a total of 75 beds. Also in 1995, the hospital kitchen was expanded and Country Terrace, a 30 apartment senior independent living community, was opened.
Country TerraceIn 1986, the hospital was sold to Westworld Community Healthcare, Inc., which then filed bankruptcy in 1987. To save the hospital from closing, the community and area rallied to raise the necessary funds to purchase the hospital out of bankruptcy.
In 1998, Hoopeston Area Healthcare Foundation was formed as a separate not-for-profit entity, focused on raising funds to give both the hospital family and the community the opportunity to support Hoopeston Community Memorial Hospital in continuing to provide high quality healthcare services.
Charlotte Anne Medical CenterAs part of a three phase growth project, Charlotte Ann Russell Medical Center was built in 2000. The center offers a 10,000 square foot medical practice building that houses family care physicians, physician assistants, and many visiting specialists. The second phase of the project included the development of a new emergency room entrance, which has been completed. The last phase of the growth project, currently underway, includes remodeling of Hoopeston Community Memorial Hospital, adding additional square footage and upgrading existing outpatient areas.
