The inspiration of 12 local women became a reality when Drusilla Cravens, a wealthy widow, agreed to donate the house that was used as the first hospital on Aug. 25, 1899. In the century to follow, King's Daughters' Health grew into a regional healthcare facility, serving families from more than five counties. Formerly located in historic downtown Madison, King's Daughters' Health opened its new, hilltop campus in early 2013.
