About Us
Good Samaritan Hospital Association was founded in 1904 by Lutheran pastors with a strong commitment to community service. This dedication has remained a cornerstone of our organization for over a century. Today, we continue to uphold this mission, serving the Rugby area with the support of 20 local churches across various denominations.
Our History & Growth
Haaland Estates, our 60-bed basic care facility and 37 assisted living apartments, opened its doors in 1962 as an intermediate care nursing home. Since then, it has been a vital part of our community’s healthcare services.
In 1933, Dr. Olafur W. Johnson established the Johnson Clinic, which later merged with Heart of America Medical Center in 2010 to form the Heart of America Johnson Clinic.
Recognizing the need for a modern healthcare facility, we broke ground for a new hospital in November 2022, with construction beginning in the spring of 2023. Our state-of-the-art facility is being built on 17 acres along Highway 2, and we welcomed patients to our new hospital on September 30, 2024.
Our Services Today
Today, Good Samaritan Hospital Association, operating as Heart of America Medical Center, is a licensed 25-bed critical access hospital. Our services include a full Surgical Suite, Wellness & Rehab, ER, Acute, Swing, Medical Clinic, Pharmacy Clinic, Radiology, Lab, Oncology, and Telehealth continuing our long-standing tradition of providing high-quality care to our community.
