History
Saint Thomas Hickman Hospital was established in 1964 as Hickman County Hospital through a 17-acre (6.9-hectare) land donation by the Huddleston family of Centerville, Tennessee, and Federal Hill-Burton Funds.
Over its history, Saint Thomas Hickman Hospital has expanded its services to include a local home health program and become the first hospital in Tennessee to qualify as a Critical Access Hospital. In 1996, Baptist Hospital of Nashville purchased the hospital and the name was changed to Baptist Hickman Community Hospital. In January 2002, Hickman Community Hospital became a member of Saint Thomas Health Services when this group assumed the operation of Baptist. In 2013, its name was changed to Saint Thomas Hickman Hospital in a rebranding in which the use of the "Baptist" name was terminated group-wide.
