St. Luke's Hospital and Foundation - Working Together

to Serve our Community

Ninety years ago, two young physicians, Drs. Palmer and Jervey, had the foresight to envision a hospital that served local Polk County residents. Originally named Tryon Infirmary, St. Luke's Hospital opened in 1929 with three doctors, four nurses and five staff members.

In 1972, St. Luke's moved from its early location on Carolina Drive in Tryon to its present facility at 101 Hospital Drive in Columbus, NC.
