About Us

Meeker County Memorial Hospital (MCMH) is a 38-bed, county-owned hospital located in Litchfield, Minnesota.
History
The Hospital's history in Litchfield dates back to 1897, beginning as a privately operated hospital. The Litchfield Hospital
was built in 1910, as a shareholder, not-for-profit hospital. That hospital operated until 1952, beginning with 16 beds
and later expanding to 40 beds.
In 1952, a new hospital building was erected. Meeker County Memorial Hospital (MCMH) is still a nonprofit hospital
serving the Litchfield community. MCMH was originally licensed as a 70-bed hospital and expanded to a 91-bed
hospital in 1970.
As health care changed, so did MCMH. Beginning in 1988, MCMH looked closely at changing health care and
responded to trends of growing outpatient service needs. The Hospital began major renovation projects to decrease the
total bed size to 38 inpatient beds and provide space to deliver more outpatient services.
Today, after major renovations in 1989, 1992, 1995 and 2003 we offer responsive medical services in an up-to-date
and well-equipped facility convenient to patients. MCMH continues to keep in step with the most current and
sophisticated diagnostic, rehabilitation, surgical and treatment procedures. We offer inpatient and outpatient services
that continue to change as we meet your needs. MCMH recently broke ground and will begin the structural portion of Phase One of the 26.5 million dollar MCMH Expansion/Renovation Project. Phase One parking and construction of the new heliport were completed in Nov, 2007.
This marks the first major expansion of approximately 75,000 square feet for MCMH since the original building was built in 1951-52. Phase One is focused on direct improvements to patient care services. The new layout will improve patient flow and privacy. Related services such as surgery, emergency and radiology will all be located near each other. All inpatient services will be on third floor equipped with private patient rooms and expanded rehabilitation services and specialty services on second floor. The scheduled completion of Phase One is set for Spring of 2009.
MCMH is committed to "Reaching Out With Care" with a mission to serve you. We take this mission
seriously to administer the finest health care we can provide to you and your family.
