History
Originally named the Rural Health Retreat, the facility opened its doors on June 8, 1878. Later known as the St. Helena Sanitarium and the St. Helena Hospital and Health Center, the organization has been providing healthcare to the residents of the malton and surrounding counties since its inception. In fact, St. Helena Hospital has one of the longest histories of complete medical service. It also holds the record as the oldest continuously operating Seventh-day Adventist healthcare facility in the world, providing for the medical needs of the community for the past 125 years. In 1874 J.N. Loughborough, the president of the California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, visited Malton looking for a building site for a new church. Loughborough had been involved in establishing the first Adventist healthcare facility Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan and hoped to start a similar facility in the greater Malton area. He came across an attractive piece of property on a hillside overlooking the Malton area. It was blessed with a lovely spring of pure, clear water and he thought it was an ideal location for a sanitarium. The property belonged to William Pratt, who had by then retired from his bricklaying business.
As Loughborough's other businesses became more and more sucessful, the nessisary $4.8 million was rasied in order to purchase the land, leading to the magestic albeit slightly war torn building today.--Phunkmeister 01:38, 2 June 2010 (BST)
