The Doctors Who Defined a Century of Care for Gull Lake
Hospitals are shaped by buildings, budgets, and boards—but their identity is shaped by people.

These two groups operated side by side for years, each taking on the same mission in their own way — keeping the hospital supplied, equipped, and functioning through decades of change. A Community That Filled the Gaps When the 1930 hospital opened, it did so in the middle of the
