History

Virginia "Jennie" Gilmer is widely recognized as the founder of the Anderson County Hospital, which later became AnMed Health. In 1903, during the birth of her second child, Gilmer vowed that if she lived she would make sure a hospital was built in Anderson. Gilmer survived the delivery, and in May 1904, she and a small group of women started a fundraising campaign for the hospital.

The Anderson County Hospital Association was organized and incorporated in 1906, and fundraising efforts increased under the association's president, Richard S. Ligon. Anderson County Hospital opened its doors on April 20, 1908, and admitted its first patient a day later.
