History

Major funds for the hospital came from the closing of an orphanage that ran for 94 years which was founded by Ira Davenport.^[5][6] These funds enlarged and enhanced a 1910-founded hospital located in Bath, New York previously known as Bath Hospital.^[6] In 1990 a 120-bed nursing home named Fred & Harriett Taylor Health Center was opened adjacent to the hospital. The combined complex was renamed Davenport & Taylor Medical Center.^[7][3]

They're regarded as a rural hospital, and receive funding from the Federal Low Volume Hospital^[8] funding program,^[9] that enables such facilities to have an MRI machine in a region that would otherwise have none.^[10]
