Barton County Memorial Hospital

Brought about by a single idea,
to fill a great need to the people
and to honor those brave souls,
who gave all.

I have seen many faces come and go.
My soul consists of the people I have seen.
Many have come into this world 
and many have left through my doors.
I have been a place of great joy
and great sorrow.
Many ghosts have walked my halls.
Some are still here, wandering lost.

My face is soon to change,
but I'll remain the same.
A little family oriented place of care,
nestled away in the gently rolling hills,
in the heart of America.



dedicated to the wonderful caregivers,
patients, and families of our hospital.
