It was established in 1944 as the LDS Roosevelt Hospital, but when The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints divested itself from its health care services in 1975, Duchesne County assumed ownership of the facility and it became known as Duchesne County Hospital. In 1993, the name changed to the current Uintah Basin Medical Center.
Famous quotes containing the words medical and/or center:
“If science ever gets to the bottom of Voodoo in Haiti and Africa, it will be found that some important medical secrets, still unknown to medical science, give it its power, rather than the gestures of ceremony.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“Actually being married seemed so crowded with unspoken rules and odd secrets and unfathomable responsibilities that it had no more occurred to her to imagine being married herself than it had to imagine driving a motorcycle or having a job. She had, however, thought about being a bride, which had more to do with being the center of attention and looking inexplicably, temporarily beautiful than it did with sharing a double bed with someone with hairy legs and a drawer full of boxer shorts.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
