History & Service Area

Dr. Michael Iversen founded Stoughton Surgical Hospital in 1904. Dr. Iversen believed more personalized care could be provided in a smaller hospital. Over a century later, this philosophy is unchanged.

We have invested in several improvements and expansions to ensure that the highest-quality services and equipment are available to you, close to home, including:

2000: A $6 million renovation that replaced the intensive care and medical/surgical inpatient units with private patient rooms equipped for state-of-the-art care
