AdventHealth Polk is a non-profit hospital in Columbus, North Carolina managed by AdventHealth. It is designated a critical access hospital.^[2]

History

In 1916, the Tryon Infirmary was founded by physicians Allen J. Jervey and Marion C. Palmer, in a boarding house that they rented.^[3] One of their patients donated $10,000 to have a hospital built. Local donors from Tryon, North Carolina gave another $57,000 and also The Duke Endowment gave $40,000.^[3] Jersey donated the land where a 24-bed hospital was built with a stone façade. On November 8, 1929, St. Luke's Hospital opened with eleven employees.^[3]

The hospital expanded in 1954 and 1959, increasing the number of beds to 50. By the 1960s, St. Luke's Hospital could not be added onto anymore.^[3] A $1.5 million bond was announced to residents for the construction of a new hospital. Advertisements were put in newspapers, both for and against a new hospital.^[3] On February 16, 1968, residents voted in favor of having a new hospital built on North Carolina Highway 108 by Columbus, North Carolina on 25 acres that was donated by the St. Luke's Auxiliary.^[3]

In the spring of 1970, there was a ground breaking for the new hospital. On April 16, 1972, St. Luke's Hospital opened at its new location.^[3]

After St. Luke's hospital moved, the former property was given to Polk County and was renamed the Jervey-Palmer building.^[4] It was used by the county for offices, including its social services department, a senior center and also for veteran's services.^[4]^[5]

In 2008, St. Luke's Hospital and Atrium Health signed a partnership agreement.^[6] In 2020, Atrium Health told the hospital that it would not be renewing their partnership. This then forced the board of directors to start looking for a new partner for the hospital. They did not want to sell it or have a partner turn it into a urgent care.^[6]

On August 19, 2024, AdventHealth announced that it would be taking over the management of St. Luke's Hospital.^[7]^[8]^[9] AdventHealth had signed an agreement to lease the hospital from Polk County for 20 years.^[2] A new board will be created: two from St. Luke's board of directors, two from the community and five chosen by AdventHealth.^[6] In early October, St. Luke's Hospital was rebranded to AdventHealth Polk.^[10]

Services

In September 2006, St. Luke's Hospital became only the second medical facility in North Carolina to purchase the PROfx operating table,^[11] it was purchased for $150,000 for hip replacement surgery.^[11]^[12]
