History
The original Thomas D. Dee Memorial Hospital at 24th Street and Harrison Boulevard in Ogden was founded on December 29, 1910, by Annie Taylor Dee and her children as a memorial to their husband and father, Thomas Duncombe Dee.[1] In 1915, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) became the owners of the hospital.[2]
The original hospital facility closed on July 12, 1969, with its patients transferring to the new David O. McKay Hospital at 3939 Harrison Boulevard. The Dee, as it was known for 59 years, began a second life on November 10, 1971, when a new hospital bearing the same name opened its doors adjacent to the McKay Hospital, as an integral part of the McKay-Dee Medical Center. The new Dee Hospital provided care for less-intensive cases, as opposed to its neighboring McKay Hospital.[3]
On April 1, 1975, the LDS Church transferred its private hospital system, including McKay-Dee, to the newly created Intermountain Health Care.[4] In March 2002, a new McKay-Dee Hospital campus was opened less than a mile to the south of the former location.[5]
