Sturgis Memorial Hospital was built in 1925 with
an endowment from the estate of William C. Grobhiser.
A new facility, Sturgis Hospital located at 916
Myrtle Avenue, Sturgis, was build in 1970, with
an expansion completed in 1981. The original Grobhiser
building was originally renovated in 1992 to house physician
offices, and later remodeled again
to accommodate the addition of specialty clinics
and more physician offices. In 2005 a $15 million dollar expansion was undertaken to construct the new Birthing Center and remodel and update our surgical facilities.
