Our History: A Legacy of Care in the Heart of Winslow
1948–1950
The Seed Is Planted
With the lease for Winslow General Hospital set to expire in 1950, local leaders began exploring options for a new hospital. Although the lease was temporarily renewed, the vision for a community-owned hospital began to take shape.
1951
Community-Driven Origins
Tragedy turned into purpose when two young women, Carol Lee Doonan and Barbara Dodson, lost their lives in a car accident. Their families established a memorial fund, which became the spark for a new community hospital. Volunteers rallied to support what would become Winslow’s first truly community-built hospital.
