History
Hickman Community Hospital was established in 1964 as Hickman County Hospital through a 17-acre (6.9-hectare) land donation by the Huddleston family of Centerville, Tennessee, and Federal Hill-Burton Funds.
Over its history, Hickman Community Hospital has expanded its services to include a local home health program and become the first hospital in Tennessee to qualify as a Critical Access Hospital. In 1996, Baptist Hospital purchased the hospital. In January 2002, Hickman Community Hospital became a member of Saint Thomas Health Services.

“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”

“These anyway might think it was important
That human history should not be shortened.”
