Medical Clinic
The hospital’s medical clinic, now in its 25th year, has a proud history.
The clinic began in 1990 when longtime Marietta physicians Vergil Smith and J.T. O’Connor turned over their extensive private practice to the hospital. Dr. Stephen Hutchins, just starting his career, joined the others as employees of the hospital.
Their actions sustained the hospital and launched a period of growth in medical services for Love County that continues today. The clinic alone serves almost 20,000 patient visits per year.
