Our story begins almost 100 years ago.  In the 1920's health care in Oldham County was like most rural counties with the exception of bigger cities like Louisville and Cincinnati being fairly close by if you had the means to get to a city hospital.

 

A depression era WPA project created the hospital from which our foundation's name is derived.  The 1930's era project was a boost to the community and surrounding counties.  To read more about the funding and building of the hospital, click on the history link in our top menu.

 

The Mallory-Taylor Memorial Hospital served our community for over 50 years with thousands of babies born at the hospital and thousands of others healed as well.  As time progressed, a new hospital came into the community with more rooms, more services, and better options for health care. 

​

The eventual closing of the hospital was overseen by the local court system since the funds were of a public nature.  A board was appointed to create bylaws, tax ID's, and a process to oversee the funds and eventually have local citizens benefit in some way.
