Osceola's first hospital was established in
1932 by Dr. L.O. Simenstad, who had begun his
practice as an Osceola family doctor in 1924.
The site of the eight-bed hospital was the former
home of Charles C. Ladd, donated to the village
by his widow and converted into a medical facility.
The founder's son, Dr. John Simenstad, launched
his Osceola practice as surgeon and family physician
in 1964 -- and what has become today's Osceola
Medical Center took on dramatic new dimensions
of growth under his dedicated and far-reaching
leadership.
Present-day patients benefit from an extensive
and diverse number of medical enhancements throughout
OMC, which recently mushroomed in size and scope
upon completion of a comprehensive expansion
program.
In preparation for tomorrow's growing health
care needs in Osceola and throughout The Valley,
OMC has also consolidated its clinic, hospital
and nursing home into one locally-managed, non-profit,
independent facility -- ready and eager for
the challenges and opportunities of the future.
