This hospital was built in 1912 under the guidance of Dr. Susan
La Flesche Picotte, the first
Native American woman physician, with the financial support of
the Presbyterian Board of
Home Missions and other donors. It served both Native American
and white people. In 1988 the
Susan La Flesche Picotte Center was established here to commemorate
Dr. Picotte as a model
student, servant, healer, and leader. The hospital was named a
National Historic Landmark in
1993.
