Biographical/Historical
Sketch:
The Methodist Hospital
of Hattiesburg, Mississippi has gone through several incarnations. Established
by Dr. T.E. Ross as Ross Sanitarium in 1900, the hospital was a first
for Hattiesburg. In 1903 it became the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad Employees
Hospital, and a training school for nurses was established there in 1906.
In the years following, the hospital was also called Hattiesburg Hospital
(1908) and King's Daughter's Hospital (1918), until 1921 when the Methodist
Conference of Mississippi obtained it and named it Methodist Hospital
of Hattiesburg. In 1980, Methodist Hospital moved from its original location
on Bay Street in the downtown area, to Highway 98 West.
The Methodist Hospital
founded the Institute for Wellness and Sports Medicine in 1986, the first
hospital-based wellness facility in Mississippi. Finally, in 1997 it became
known as Wesley Medical Center.
