In the 1950's the need for a modern hospital in Eagle River was rapidly becoming apparent. Incidents in the area were pointing to the dangers involved in transporting patients to distant hospitals. As the population of the area grew, the potential for serious accidents grew and the demand for medical services continued to rise.

Concerned Citizens realized the more time physicians spent on the highway traveling to distant hospitals, the less valuable time they had caring for the sick and injured. They based the proposal for that first hospital on the findings of a state hospital survey of the area and recommendations from the division of hospital facilities.
