Our Beginnings

The original Daviess County Hospital of Washington, Indiana (now known as Daviess Community Hospital) was the vision of a group of local citizens, concerned about the lack of healthcare in this region when the victim of a train accident was forced to recuperate in the local jail. In 1913 the hospital was founded and after a grass-roots community drive and two years of work by dedicated local residents, the hospital opened its doors in 1915 and has been treating patients every since. Over the years, Daviess Community Hospital has strived to maintain its quality of care, state-of the art facilities and equipment, and utilize the newest technologies and medical treatment to care for our communities. The Hospital is really about caring for our communities of people--then, now and always--we were here for your grandparents and parents, and we want to be here for your children and grandchildren.

Our Mission
The Daviess Community Hospital Foundation’s mission is to enhance and complement the mission of Daviess Community Hospital by providing a means for philanthropic support of the hospital and by strengthening relationships between the hospital and the people who live in our communities.

The vision of the Daviess Community Hospital Foundation is to ensure a healthcare legacy.
