Miners Hospital, established in 1912, is governed by a Board of
Trustees of seven members, four of whom are appointed by the Gov-
ernor for terms of four years; three members are elected by the Board
for two year terms (Acts 1912, Ch. 441).

The Hospital, founded originally for the purpose of providing
hospital facilities to miners and their families, today serves as a
general hospital for the residents of Frostburg and vicinity. While
rated as a thirty-five bed hospital, present demands require that it
serve an average of about 50 patients. It occupies a two-acre site.
