The eighty bed Baldwin County Hospital facility was constructed at a cost of approximately $1,200,000 and formally opened on March 6, 1957.
The first patients admitted to the new facility were transferred from Richard Binion Clinic and Scott Hospital.
The cobalt therapy suite was added at this time, as were fifty-two private patient rooms, and extensive remodelling was done throughout the facility.
A Certificate of Need (CON) was obtained in 1979 to provide for modernization, renovation and expansion of ancillary services.
