The History of OMC
Osceola's first hospital was established in 1932 by Dr. L.O. Simenstad, who had begun his practice as an Osceola family doctor in 1924. The site of the eight-bed hospital was the former home of Charles C. Ladd, donated to the village by his widow and converted into a medical facility.

The founder's son, Dr. John Simenstad, launched his Osceola practice as surgeon and family physician in 1964 -- and what has become today's Osceola Medical Center took on dramatic new dimensions of growth under his dedicated and far-reaching leadership.

Present-day patients benefit from an extensive and diverse number of medical enhancements throughout OMC, which recently mushroomed in size and scope upon completion of a comprehensive expansion program.

In preparation for tomorrow's growing health care needs in Osceola and throughout The Valley, OMC has also consolidated its clinic, hospital and nursing home into one locally-managed, non-profit, independent facility -- ready and eager for the challenges and opportunities of the future.
