Coffey County Hospital first opened in June, 1954, as a church sponsored organization, on the same site where it now stands. The hospital was purchased by the county in 1967 and has been operated by that entity since that time. When original operations began, the hospital had 22 beds, an emergency room, two operating rooms, a laboratory, and a radiology department.

From the beginning, the hospital has experienced steady upward growth, including several additions and renovations in recent years.  More recent changes include the opening of a rural clinic in Gridley and the purchase of the Yates Center Medical Clinic.  As the logo implies, we are a family oriented health care facility with all of our employees and physicians giving care that comes from the heart.
