Major Health Partners (MHP) Hospital, in collaboration with Shelby County Tourism and Visitors Bureau, is thrilled to announce its upcoming centennial celebration on June 7.

This momentous occasion will mark a century of excellence in healthcare provision, community service, and local pride.

The festivities will take place in downtown Shelbyville in partnership with Shelby County Tourism and Visitors Bureau’s 10th year for the Taste of Shelby County.

MHP Hospital has been a cornerstone of healthcare in Shelby County.  In 1890, the original Major Hospital was built as a home for the Major family then later donated to Shelbyville to be the first hospital in Shelby County in 1924. The donation was to happen upon the death of Mrs. Major but she wanted to see the home used as a hospital, so she donated it while she was still living.

Over the past century, it has evolved into a leading healthcare institution, providing cutting-edge medical services while remaining deeply rooted in the community it serves.

The collaboration with Taste of Shelby County adds an exciting culinary dimension to the celebration. Attendees will have the opportunity to indulge in the diverse flavors of Shelby County, showcasing the region’s culinary talent and local delicacies.

“We are incredibly proud to reach this historic milestone,” said Scott Furgeson, City of Shelbyville Mayor. “For 100 years, MHP Hospital has been dedicated to providing exceptional care to the residents of Shelby County. This celebration is not only a testament to MHP’s past achievements but also a reflection of their commitment to the health and well-being of our community for generations to come.”

All members of the community are invited to join in the festivities on June 7 in downtown Shelbyville.
