Hancock County Memorial Hospital was opened in 1953. The Hill-Burton Act, passed by Congress to assist communities in building hospitals, made the hospital possible. In 1974, a new outpatient wing was built on the southeast end of the hospital, and in 1981, remodeling to the patient care areas was accomplished. In March 1984, a new clinic building was added to the east end of the building to accommodate six physician office suites.
