Salem's second hospital was founded on December 3, 1916 by Franz B. Wedel and four Mennonite Deaconesses. Salem Deaconess Hospital and Home was located in the old Capitol Hotel, which was on this site. The Mennonites turned the hospital over to a board of Salem citizens in 1947, and it was renamed Salem Memorial Hospital. It merged with Salem General Hospital in 1969, becoming simply Salem Hospital. The current building was built in the late 1960s and 1970s, replacing the original building.
