Samaritan Hospital

Samaritan Hospital is a hospital located in Macon, Missouri. Founded in the late 1920s, it began as the vision of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Gary, driven by the lack of modern healthcare facilities in Macon County. The hospital, originally named Macon County Samaritan Memorial Hospital, became county-owned in 1943 after judges agreed to manage its operations. The hospital offers a range of services, including inpatient care, outpatient clinics, emergency room services, obstetrics and nursery, physical therapy, laboratory, radiology, and medical records. Over the years, Samaritan Hospital has expanded to accommodate the growing needs of the community, adding wings, buildings, and specialized facilities for areas like chemotherapy treatment, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, and patient accounts. Driven by citizen involvement, Samaritan Hospital's history reflects the community's commitment to providing quality healthcare. From its inception, citizen support has played a crucial role in the hospital's growth, evident in bond issues passed by county voters.
