About Muenster Hospital District

In 1958, the citizens of Muenster, not satisfied with available medical services, set out to build a new hospital.  J.M. Weinzapfel donated the land and spearheaded the efforts to make the hospital a reality.  In 1960, the Benedictine Order of Sisters promised Muenster residents that they would provide nurses to operate the hospital.  Sister Mildred Felderhoff leads the way as the first hospital administrator.
