Our History

从冰球突破简陋的避暑小屋开始, 敬冰球突破今天作为一家提供世界一流医疗服务的地区医院的影响力, we’re proud of our history. 冰球突破希望你喜欢冰球突破的故事——从1906年的一个“微风飘拂的小山丘”开始.”

Breezy Knoll

1906–1958

冰球突破最初是一座夏季小屋,建在约克村的“微风丘”上. 早期的公司以1.5万美元的价格购买了土地,并于1906年7月22日开业. It was a 10-room hospital, 第一批病人是那些被诊断患有伤寒的人, epilepsy, rheumatism and delirium, with surgical cases including appendectomies, fracture care, carcinoma, endometriosis and hysterectomy. The first President of the Board was Seabury W. Allen.

York Hospital 58 Building

1959–1961

在董事会成立之前的50年里,这座小屋一直是医院的主楼, led by Roy Sturtevant, 开始筹款活动,以建立一个新的, modern facility to care for patients. A modern, 两层楼的建筑(被称为58大楼)以400美元的价格建在医院的土地上,000 and opened April 12, 1959. This brand-new, state-of-the-art hospital provided private, semi-private, and four-bed rooms (32 beds in total), 楼上还有六个摇篮和两个托儿所,供住院病人护理. Surgery, emergency, lab and x-ray, and supportive hospital services such as dietary, supplies, housekeeping, etc., were housed on the lower level.

While the old cottage hospital was demolished, the ’58 Building still stands today, 虽然它经过了几次扩建和修改,才成为冰球突破所熟悉和喜爱的冰球突破. 原来的58年建筑是现在汉考克翼的上下两层.

Hospital employees

1962–1964

A year after opening the ‘58 Building, 医院的入住率从66%上升到85%, surgeries grew 130%, x-rays grew by 80%, and lab testing needs went up 125%. The hospital was quickly running out of room.

In 1962, 在建筑的南翼(Barrell Mill Pond一侧)增加了一个三层楼的空间,其中包括将床数量增加到41张的空间, a solarium with an exterior balcony, more offices, a nursing station, a conference room, a pharmacy, and additional space to expand medical records, the lab, and central sterile supply. 这一增建部分目前在第二层提供乳房护理, lab reception area on the main level, and IT equipment storage on the lower level.

New extended care wing

1965–1978

1965年,为了给扩建的实验室增加空间,北翼增加了两层楼, the x-ray, a new outpatient waiting room, and more office space. 随着时间的推移,它经历了额外的翻新,现在是实验室的所在地, CT scan, and cath lab on the lower level, and the Ellis Conference Room, administration, and cardiovascular care on the second level. 下一个主要的增加发生在1968年,当时增加了延长护理服务. 医院新建了一个完整的侧翼,并通过一条走廊与1958年的大楼相连.

1969年5月25日,拥有40张床位的延长护理病房(Henry Strater wing)落成. Along with brand-new patient rooms, the project added a new kitchen and dining room, a beauty parlor, a fireplace, and the hospital’s first color television. 延长护理服务一直到2008年, 当熟练的护理服务被转移到基特里的杜金松养老院时. The wing is currently home to inpatient rooms.

Hospital staff

1979–1984

By the late 1970s, 该医院在一个为46张床位的医院设计的空间内为68张急症护理床位和18张熟练护理床位提供服务. 这个社区在不断壮大,扩张的压力再次增大. 董事会和领导层考虑了许多替代方案,但在1979年决定建造一个新的侧翼来解决空间问题. 监管问题和CON审查推迟了该项目,但医院坚持了下来. Its $4.耗资400万美元扩建的卡梅隆·比温德大厦于1983年6月开业. 它建在大楼的西北角,为医院提供了林赛路的新入口.

扩建为许多服务部门提供了新的空间,包括急诊科(设有救护车入口)。, a new outpatient area, radiology, a five-bed special care unit, a new lobby and admitting on the ground floor, 以及在二楼新建半私人和私人住院病房,以取代58年大楼原有的41张床位的急症护理病房. 58年大楼里空出来的空间后来被重新装修,变成了物理疗法, additional lab space, cardiology, medical records, a medical library, office space, and a solarium.

Front of hospital building

1985–1998

工作人员和病人都习惯了这个新空间,有一段时间一切都很安静. But something was brewing! 到1985年,医院的外科服务已经远远超出了它的空间. Now 30 years old, 该中心需要的空间比两个手术室大得多, and plans for another addition emerged. In 1992, 鲍德温家庭手术中心(Baldwin Family Surgery Center)在新Biewend翼楼的地下室开业(在将那里的物资搬迁到一个新位置之后),并建立了一个4号楼,000-square-foot addition. The new surgery center had its own entrance, an additional OR (bringing the total to three), and provided expanded surgical capabilities, special procedures, and oncology care.

The hospital did not stop there. Many services and programs have been added. 最重要的变化发生在冰球突破周围的社区. The Heart Health Institute opened in Newington, 1993年搬到新罕布什尔州(2002年搬到约克), 冰球突破开始通过在周围社区建造设施,将服务拉近到离家庭更近的地方.

York Hospital

1999–Today

The first Wells location was built in 1999, 设有紧急护理中心和几个辅助服务和医生的做法. The success of this site led to many others — including York Hospital in South Berwick (2004); York Hospital in Berwick (2007); and a presence in Kittery that began with select services (2008), 但最终促成了基特里冰球突破的建立(2012年). 在医院主校区进行的最后一次重大翻新/增加是对手术中心的增加-增加了两个额外的手术室, expanded the pre- and post-op space, 并提供私人恢复区-分两期完成(2010年和2011年).

Today, 冰球突破包括主要的医院建筑(所有的增加和改变), 还有几十个社区站点和医生实践来照顾你所有的医疗保健需求. 随着医疗保健领域的不断发展,冰球突破将继续适应和发展.
