Founder of the (current in 1960) 72-bed, King City Hospital, Dr. L. M. Andrus, donated a six-acre tract on Canal street and bids for construction were opened in December 1960.

[6] At the grand opening of the hospital in 1962, the Fort Ord Army band served as the musical entertainment while local dignitaries did the ribbon cutting.

[9] In 2000 the hospital expanded again, adding additional hospital space, new surgical suite, labor and delivery rooms, a new emergency department, a new main entrance, remodeled skilled nursing rooms and imaging department, expanded beds and added 20,000 square feet of space for future growth.

[11] The Covid-19 pandemic hit all Monterey County hospitals hard, by May 2020, Mee had laid off 55, reducing staff to about 300 people.

Chief medical officer, Dr. Robert Valladares stated that if Mee had stopped elective surgeries "it would have had to close".

[12] Vaccinations during COVID were made more challenging because "[M]any are migrant farmworkers of indigenous Mexican heritage who speak neither Spanish or English, but native languages such as Mixteco and Triqui".

[13] Mee physician Joshua Deutsch designed ten children's books called Justice with Health that target farmworker families with illustrations of "characters of indigenous and Latin American descent".

Written by Deutsch and illustrated by Jess Marie Soriano, the 2021 launch gave out 18,000 books to "Mee Memorial, Natividad Hospital, Alisal clinic and Touro Medical School".
