Weisbrod Memorial County Hospital is a critical access hospital in Eads, Colorado, in Kiowa County.[1] The hospital is governed by a special district called Kiowa County Hospital District, with a publicly elected board of directors.[3]
History
Weisbrod Memorial County Hospital takes its name from George Weisbrod (died 1924), a Kiowa County resident who left his estate to the county to establish a hospital. The original hospital building was set to be constructed as a Works Project Administration project in 1937, but the Dust Bowl and World War II delayed its construction. It finally opened in 1943 as a county hospital. In 1963, the hospital was re-organized as a special district hospital. The hospital added new wings in the 1960s and in 1970. It also operates a nursing home.[4][5]
