History

Princeton Sanatorium opened in 1907 and closed in 1910. Methodist Hospital Corporation re-established the hospital in 1917. It was renamed Gibson General Hospital and became an individual private hospital in 1941. From 1956 to 1962 the current hospital was built. It entered into a management agreement with the Deaconess Health System, based in Evansville, Indiana, in 2016.[1]

In June 2020 it signed an agreement to become a hospital within the Deaconess system.[2] It joined the system and received its current name on October 1, 2020.[1]
