53- bed hospital that has served a
wide area of the mountains sur

00 years.
Two other hospitals had been
used here before the present one
came into existence. The first was
a 10-room residence opened toy
the late Dr. W. C. Tate. This was
followed by a 20- bed hospital. Dr.
Tate operated the smaller Institu
tions for more than 50 years. His
son, Dr. Lawson Tate, is chief of
staff and medical director of the
present hospital.
