Marshall’s History
In the late 1950's a group of local citizens saw a great need for
improved healthcare services in El Dorado County. The citizens formed
a committee to petition the state of California for a nonprofit
charter under which a hospital could be built and operated. As a
result of this, plans were drawn, funds were solicited, Michigan
California lumber company donated land for a hospital site, and Marshall
Hospital opened its doors in 1959.
A group of dedicated employees worked hard to make the original 30 bed hospital a
success.
Marshall Medical Center derives its name from the pioneer James Marshall,
who discovered gold at Sutter’s Mill a few miles north of Placerville.
