History

The hospital was originally founded in 1931 by the Free Methodist Church. Anna Luella Witteman, a civic leader and superintendent of a Free Methodist mission home for girls, led the expansion of a medical building.^[2] Witteman, and other women involved with the Free Methodist Church as deaconesses staffed the medical building, leading to the original name of the hospital (Deaconess Hospital).^[2][3]

Triad Health Systems bought the hospital in 2005, after which it was sold to Tennessee based Community Health Systems in 2007.^[4] After the purchase by Community Health Systems, the hospital was known as AllianceHealth Deaconess from 2007-2018.^[5][6]
