Lillian M. Hudspeth Memorial Hospital Overview

The idea for the Lillian M. Hudspeth Memorial Hospital was conceived in the mind of Roy H. Hudspeth, Sutton County rancher, as a tribute to his wife, Lillian Maddox Hudspeth, who had died in 1946. In 1947, he offered to supply half the funds for a hospital, if the citizens of Sutton County would contribute the other half. The community had long felt the need for a hospital and eagerly accepted his offer. Plans got under way for what would turn out to be a $500,000 facility. Roy Hudspeth died in 1948, after the hospital was incorporated, but before construction had begun. In addition to his ini...tial donation, in his will he left a 20 section ranch as an endowment for the hospital. On July 1, 1951, the two story LILLIAN M. HUDSPETH MEMORIAL HOSPITAL opened its doors. Over the years, the hospital served the community well. In September of 1970, a one story 39 bed Nursing Home was added to the original building. An active Womens Auxiliary furnished many amenities for hospital patients and nursing home residents. Hudspeth Hospital continues to serve the community after six decades and continues to advance the mission and vision by installing complete electronic health records in 2006 and completed three residential properties for professional recruitment and purchasing eight apartments in 2008 and 2009. These properties bring the total housing opportunity for recruiting to thirteen. More
