History

Holland Hospital was founded in 1917 in the home of a local doctor named Dr. Kremers.[3] The hospital later underwent infrastructure expansions to meet the needs of a growing patient number. In 2000, the Lakeshore Medical Campus was opened on Holland's north side and it is home to Urgent Care and other departments and physician practices. In 2007, a 90,000-square-foot expansion to the hospital provided a new and expanded emergency room, intensive care unit, Special Care Nursery, and cardiac rehabilitation facility.[4] In 2010, Holland Hospital opened a multi-use medical office building in Zeeland, named Holland Hospital Medical Building, serving people living or working east of the hospital.[4]

In August 2013, the hospital opened its $10 million expansion of its orthopedic and neurosurgery unit with the 23,400-square-foot addition to the hospital. Room sizes were increased for orthopedic patients and 24 private rooms were created.[2][5]

Financials

In January 2013, Moody's Investors Service assigned an A2 long-term rating to Holland Hospital's $37.0 million of Series 2013A fixed rate bonds to be issued through the Michigan Finance Authority.[6][7]

Scholarships

The Holland Hospital Auxiliary awards annual scholarship for college students pursuing a degree in health care. Scholarships are available to college juniors and seniors with permanent residence in the greater Holland and Zeeland area.[8]
