History in the making. Our first patient stepped through our doors nearly 50 years ago. Some of our first associates are still living in the community, or are part of our Volunteer program. They have fond memories of those first days, but are even more inspired – and even awed – by the changes that have occurred over the past four decades.

Carroll Hospital Center has evolved significantly from a community hospital to become a true medical center – on par with larger urban hospitals. But still, we’re different and – we think – special.

Why? We wouldn’t be here without our community. In fact, our community created us. Nearly 50 years ago, a small group of Carroll County citizens gathered and began fundraising for a hospital. Today, the fruits of their endeavors are beyond what even they expected.

Top-notch programs and services like our Family Birthplace, the new Dixon Outpatient Radiology Center, the Carroll County Cancer Center and The Women’s Place are well beyond what was planned.

But see for yourself. Read about our history, take a look at our outstanding statistics and learn about our current executive team. Don’t stop there, though. Be sure to visit other areas on our site as well.
