Administrative History

Administrative History: Memorial Hospital, located at 600 SE Madison in Topeka, Kansas, was originally known as Santa Fe Hospital. It was founded in 1896 for the employees of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway. The original building was raised in 1953. The hospital opened to the public in 1966, and changed names from Santa Fe to Memorial Hospital in 1972 to reflect the fact that non-Santa Fe employees could now receive medical care there. In 1975, the hospital underwent a $4 million expansion to add outpatient clinic and radiology and surgery departments. Memorial Hospital closed on May 12, 1989. It has since been renovated into the Santa Fe Place Senior Apartments.
