History of Mad River
Community Hospital
Our History
The original Trinity Hospital
built on the corner of 13th &
G Streets in Arcata in 1911.
–
–
–
–
25 beds
Nursery
Two sun rooms
Operating room on the
top floor for maximum
lighting
• On February 3, 1943, a tragic fire swept
through the hospital causing extensive damage.
• On March 25, 1943 rebuilding began with the
purchase of a full city block at 14th & C Streets
by the Arcata Chamber of Commerce with
contributions from the community.
Financial Factors for Change
• Humboldt State College (now University)
announced they intended to purchase the
Trinity Hospital site in 1968.
• The Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange
announced closure of Trinity Hospital on
June 30, 1969, in order to consolidate Arcata
& Eureka services into new facility in
Eureka.
Community Support for
Arcata Based Hospital
• Arcata Mayor Ward Falor called a town
meeting to discuss the future of Trinity
Hospital.
• Community members formed the Trinity
Hospital Action Committee (THAC).
• National attention was brought into the
plight of Trinity Hospital.
American Hospital
Management Corporation
• The THAC requested help from American
Hospital Management Corporation
(AHMC) in building a new hospital and
operating Trinity Hospital until a new
facility could be built.
• Allen Shaw, President of AHMC, was
impressed with the community and
physician support.
A New Beginning
• In 1968, AHMC and Trinity Hospital
Medical Staff purchased 47 acres located on
the Mad River.
• Community-wide efforts were underway to
purchase the old Trinity Hospital from the
Sisters.
• On July 1, 1969, with no interruption of
services or employee layoffs, AHMC
assumed the operation of Trinity Hospital.
The Birth of A New Hospital
~ And so began the arduous,
political process of gaining state
approval to build a new hospital.
Mad River Community Hospital
• Without the assistance of state or federal
funds, Mad River Community Hospital
opened its doors with patients from Trinity
Hospital in October, 1972.
• AHMC has sold its four other hospitals, thus
managing only Mad River Community
Hospital and devoting itself entirely to the
people of the North Coast.
Another New Beginning
• Medical Outpatient building completed in
August 2004.
• Services continue to be phased in.
