	Wood County Hospital was founded in 1951 with support from the Wood County community. Wood County residents believed so much in the hospital back then; they played a key role in its early development. They sold blankets, went door-to-door asking for donations, held bazaars, and even sold a heifer to generate funds to make sure those early years were healthy.
	
	The trust and respect that has accrued over its lifetime is built on a tradition of &ldquo;being there&rdquo; for Wood and Henry County residents &ndash; in good times and bad &ndash; 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week. There is no time when you could ask for help that it would not be there for you.
	
	Today, with over 700 individuals employed, the Hospital is proud to be a valuable resource, ready to serve our community. We believe the strength of the community lies in having excellent health care close to home, with neighbors caring for neighbors. We&rsquo;re proud to say that our community can depend on us.
