Taborian Hospital in Mound Bayou, Mississippi opened in 1942[2] to great fanfare by the International Order of Twelve Knights and Daughters of Tabor.
The facilities included two major operating rooms, an x-ray machine, incubators, electrocardiograph, blood bank, and laboratory.
After years of financial pressure, the hospital lost its fraternal status in 1967 when the federal government took it over and put it under the authority of the Office of Economic Opportunity.
[2] During the 1990s, the Knights and Daughters of Tabor began a continuing campaign to renovate the original hospital building which has been empty for many years.
When completed, half of the building will serve as an urgent care facility, which will utilize telemedicine in collaboration with the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
