Description
Slide 17 First Hospital in County, Starbuck
Dr. C. R. Christenson came to Starbuck in 1896, and bought the practice and equipment from Dr. O. E. Linjer. Dr Christenson established a private hospital in 1898 on the corner of Fifth and Wollan streets, thus providing the town (and county) with its first private hospital, small but well equipped.
