Borger's first two-story city/county hospital was built in the mid-1920s on the corner of Sixth and Weatherly. It had eighteen rooms, several large wards, an operating room, X-ray room, kitchen, dining room and doctors' and nurses' living quarters. The new hospital was opened prematurely on December 8, 1927 when a dynamite blast destroyed a half-block of businesses and people were injured from the flames. This building was eventually converted into an apartment building.

Modern Healthcare in 1930s Borger
The name of the county hospital was changed to North Plains Hospital while city and county officials were drafting plans for a new facility. The Borger Chamber of Commerce led the drive to locate the land, which later was donated to the county by Mr. and Mrs. J.F. Weatherly, early Borgans.

In 1937, the residents of Hutchinson County voted a $65,000 bond issue into play to establish a 25-bed North Plains Hospital. Local merchants and service clubs purchased most of the original furniture and equipment for the new hospital. It was constructed by C.S. Lambie on its present site at 200 S. McGee in Borger, Texas at a cost of $58,000.

Orvis Dean Box was the first baby to be born in the new hospital on October 26, 1937.

Moving Into the 1940s and 1950s
In 1941, there was a housing shortage in Borger, so In February of that year, the nurses' home adjacent to the hospital was added at a cost of $17,900. In 1943, two wings were added to the hospital at a cost of $71,300 and in 1947, the two-story center wing was built at a cost of $148,683 plus $23,900 for a central heating system.
