BOUNTIFUL -- Back in the 1950s, a group of local physicians recognized a need to develop a hospital to serve south Davis County.
The county was rapidly growing and the physicians decided an acute-care hospital would provide for its needs.
The physicians teamed up with local business leaders and residents to make the dream a reality, and in 1961, South Davis Community Hospital opened its doors.
This year, the hospital celebrates 50 years of being in business.
