Pardee Hospital History
The origins of Pardee Hospital began at Patton Memorial Hospital on Highland Avenue in Hendersonville. Patton Hospital opened in 1913 with a capacity for 26 patients and staffed by five physicians.
On November 15, 1953, patients were moved to the newly-constructed Margaret R. Pardee Memorial Hospital from Patton Hospital. The number of physicians on the medical staff grew to 26 physicians and four dentists in order to keep up with the new hospital’s 70-bed capacity.
Today, Pardee Hospital is licensed for 222 acute care beds and has 238 physicians and dentists on the medical staff. A total of 175 physicians hold full admitting privileges and 40 medical specialties are represented through our medical staff. Pardee provides health care to all who seek it without regard for their ability to pay for services. With 1,200 employees, Pardee is the second largest employer in Henderson County.
Pardee Hospital is a not-for-profit community hospital. The hospital is owned but not funded by Henderson County. The Pardee Hospital Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) organization that serves as the charitable gift-receiving entity for Henderson County Hospital Corporation (dba Pardee Hospital).
