Jefferson County Health Center is a hospital in Fairfield, Iowa, operating in the Hospitals and Health Care industry, with 51-200 employees and located at 2000 South Main Street, Fairfield, IA 52556. It is Iowa's oldest county hospital, founded with a 25-bed, three-story facility funded by a local bond issue in 1912, with private donations furnishing and equipping it. The organization established a nurse education program in 1912 and supported a Red Cross volunteer unit (Unit R) that served in France during World War I. The hospital has undergone multiple expansions (1949, 1963, 1970, 1993) and became a critical access hospital in November 2004; it moved to a new state-of-the-art 25-bed hospital in April 2009, and a 2013 addition expanded the clinic network and services, including the Doug Johnson Dialysis Center and specialty practices such as American Eyecare, NuCara Pharmacy, and Southeast Iowa Neurological Associates. Recent news indicates expansion activities, including a new location in Wildwood, Missouri in April 2026 and plans for an Ottumwa location.
