| The dream of Fishermen`s Hospital began in 1957 when a group of concerned citizens formed the Marathon Hospital Association, a nonprofit organization chartered by the State of Florida. Reorganization in 1959 converted the group to what is known as Fishermen`s Hospital. On March 25, 1961, ground breaking ceremonies were held under the chairmanship of Phil Sadowski. The combined efforts of the community were rewarded on August 23, 1962, when the building known as Fishermen`s Hospital was officially dedicated. The 36-bed health care facility admitted its first patient on September 3, 1962.
Since the first patient was admitted, the hospital has grown tremendously in size and services rendered to the community. In March of 1973, the hospital opened the West Wing, expanding the bed capacity to a 74-bed health care facility. The closing of the East Wing in 1984, changed the bed capacity to its present day total of 58. Six of the beds are ICU beds with the latest monitoring equipment. Telemetry capabilities are available at all beds in the West Wing.
In July 1986, the Board of Trustees of Fishermen`s Hospital signed a lease with Health Management Associates, Inc. (HMA). Since that time, HMA has made good its promise to modernize Fishermen`s Hospital and broaden its services. Together with the Board of Trustees, Medical Staff and Administration, HMA has established and helped maintain Fishermen`s Hospital in its position at the forefront of technological care with the latest equipment and procedures.
Fishermen`s Hospital remains committed to providing quality health care services to Marathon and the surrounding communities. |
