From Past to Present

Remembrance - a word that brings to or keeps in mind a specific memory or event. As humans, we have the distinct ability to remember past events and the significance of those times in our lives. The Columbus Regional Healthcare System (CRHS Foundation) hopes to impress upon the community the importance of the concept "Honoring Our Past and Preparing for our Future."

Without the foresight of Dr. Warren Edwin Miller, who established the first 12-patient capacity hospital in Whiteville in 1935, county citizens would have to seek medical attention elsewhere. From those humble beginnings, a new 60-bed hospital was completed in March, 1940, and the current hospital was built on Jefferson Street in 1977, as a facility licensed for 166 beds. Various expansions have continued over the years to meet patient needs. More than ever before, CRHS offers a wide spectrum of treatment and diagnostic services, so community citizens are allowed the opportunity of having quality healthcare close to home.
