85 years ago today! On August 9, 1940, Homestead Hospital opened its doors with just 10 beds and a dream: to bring quality healthcare to the Homestead community. Eight and a half decades later, we're proud to be a state-of-the-art facility, still rooted in that same mission: delivering high-quality, compassionate care to those we serve.
Thank you for being part of our story. Happy 85th Anniversary! 🍍💚
