July 15, 1995 marked the 25th anniversary of Benson Hospital at its present location. In June 1969 a contract was signed for construction of a new 22 bed hospital. On July 4 the same year ground was broken and construction began. In early July 1970, the Benson Hospital was opened to receive patients. What started as a small community hospital meeting the simple needs of the patients of the area, has grown to care for an overwhelming Emergency Room use, in part due to three major highways junctioning in Benson - Interstate 10, State Highway 80 and State Highway 90. With the influx of hundreds of winter visitors and many new permanent residents. Outpatient use in laboratory, radiology and rehabilitation have increased dramatically. As the area develops over the next few years, the Hospital Strategic Plan is a top-priority.
