History

James J. Hurley, an English immigrant, arrived in Flint penniless and worked his way up from a hotel porter to making a fortune from sawmills and soap. Remembering his early days of poverty when his wife struggled through a serious illness, Hurley donated $55,000 and land for a public hospital to the city of Flint. Hurley Hospital opened on December 19, 1908, as a 40-bed hospital with 8 nurses. Josiah Dallas Dort was also involved in its early business.

Many victims of the Flint water crisis were treated at Hurley. A study performed there determined that children were being poisoned by lead. Proceeds from Tegan Marie's single "Lucky Me" were used to benefit the patients.
