Own a piece of Munster history! ... and experience the evolution of Community Hospital in a 300-page, four-color, hardcover book that traces the hospital’s history from conception through 2006. "The Community Hospital - An Impossible Dream" begins in the 1960s when no one knew for certain that the Munster hospital project would work. There were those who recognized a need for a new hospital but others felt the medical facilities in Northwest Indiana were adequate. The idea, conceived by a team of doctors from the Hammond Clinic, would undergo years of planning and changes that were peppered with indecision, lack of funds, and growing concern among community leaders and residents. From corn field to hospital, none of this happened overnight. The hospital, dubbed the "impossible dream," was "built for the community by the community" and today is ranked one of the top 50 hospitals in the country. This beautiful "coffee table" publication, ($30 each), captures more than three decades of growth for a hospital that has endured and excelled over time. A portion of the proceeds goes to the Community Cancer Research Foundation.
