History
The hospital was founded in 1890 as St. John's Hospital, by the Sisters of Providence. In 1975, Jefferson County acquired control of the hospital, and in 1985 was it renamed Jefferson General Hospital. In 2004, the hospital was renamed Jefferson Healthcare Hospital because the organization included not only the hospital, but also a number of community clinics.
In May 2013, the hospital revealed plans for a new 50,000-square-foot (4,600 m2) emergency and specialty services building. The project is estimated to cost between $15 and 20 million, and broke ground to begin renovations in June 2015.
