History
Mrs. F.A. Morrell, upon her death in 1914, bequeathed a parcel of land on South Missouri Avenue to the City of Lakeland for the express purpose of establishing a community hospital to serve Polk County residents. A bond issue to fund the creation of the hospital passed on October 7, 1914. Architect A.J. Poteet designed the hospital, and E.C. Angell was awarded the construction contract in December 1915. The cornerstone was laid on February 24, 1916, and Morrell Memorial Hospital officially opened its doors on August 11, 1916, with a capacity of 65 beds and a staff of 24.
