	Our first patient stepped through our doors more than 50 years ago. Some of our first associates are still living in the community, or are part of our volunteer program. They have fond memories of those first days, but are even more inspired &mdash; and even awed &mdash; by the changes that have occurred over the past five decades.
	
	Carroll Hospital Center has evolved significantly from a community hospital to become a true medical center &mdash; on par with larger urban hospitals. But still, we&rsquo;re different and &mdash; we think &mdash;special.
	
	Why? We wouldn&rsquo;t be here without our community. In fact, our community created us. Fifty years ago, a small group of Carroll County citizens gathered and began fundraising for a hospital. Today, the fruits of their endeavors are beyond what even they expected.
	
	Top-notch programs and services like our Family Birthplace, skilled home care, our Imaging Center through a partnership with Advanced Radiology, and the Carroll Regional Cancer Center are well beyond what was planned.
	
	Our communities expect and deserve superior medical treatment, compassionate care, and expert guidance in maintaining their health and well-being.&nbsp; At Carroll Hospital Center, we offer an uncompromising commitment to the highest quality health care experience for people in all stages of life.&nbsp; We are the heart of health care in our communities.
