Whitman Hospital and Medical Clinics (WHMC) celebrated 125 years in 2018 giving our staff a great feeling of pride reflecting on the hospital's rich history. The successes and tribulations WHMC has endured throughout its evolution have all contributed to its current level of excellence and philosophy of success based on people, teamwork, and our fantastic providers who have committed to making our rural community second to none.
In 2003 WHMC achieved designation as a Critical Access Hospital (CAH) under a federal program enabling cost based reimbursement for Medicare and Medicaid patients. With the CAH designation, services were extended to 24 hours per day 7 days per week for Emergency Services, Imaging Services, Laboratory, Respiratory Therapy and Surgery. These much needed services continue to this day allowing people access to excellent healthcare close to home.
Over time the hospital had outgrown its original 1968 design with an overcrowded emergency room, lack of patient privacy and inadequate space for new technology. After extensive work with administration and staff, WHMC’s Board of Commissioners approved a 48,700 square foot expansion involving 16,500 square feet of remodeled space. The vision for a new two story facility by way of a bond measure went to voters in September of 2006 and passed! Construction started in June 2007 with Phase I complete in 2008 and Phase II complete in summer of 2009.
