In 1920, Pr. Smithwick arrived at the Bombay port by ship. In 1923, a piece of land was purchased from the Maharaja of Baroda to start a small dispensary in the town. As the patients increased, a bungalow was hired at Nanpura to accommodate the rising influx of patients. In 1942, Dr. George A. Nelson, the Medical Director, relocated the facility to Athwalines where it currently stands today.
With the passage of time, the hospital gradually grew manifold both in infrastructure and services under the illustrious leadership of renowned Medical Directors and Administrators who embodied themselves in creating a robust health chapter under the roof of this pioneering hospital.
