American
Mission Hospital came into being over a hundred years ago when missionaries
began itinerant medical work in 1893. Land was purchased and the
first hospital was completed in 1902, and dedicated on 26th January,
1903. We thank God for all that has been accomplished in our first
century.
The hospital is a private, not-for-profit institution,
and offers high-quality service at a reasonable price. Charity is
also extended to many deserving individuals.
With the gracious support of HM The King, Shaikh
Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa, and the King's late father HH The Amir,
Shaikh Isa bin Sulman Al-Khalifa, we have begun a program to reconstruct
the physical facilities of AMH. Generous contributions from more
than 80 banks, merchant families, companies and government ministries
enabled us to complete phase one in 2000. Plans for phase two are
under way. In the meantime, a second service site has been opened
in Saar on the west side of the Island. Surely, our founders would
be proud of what we've accomplished together in 100 years! Critical
to our success over the past century have been enduring core values
of compassion, integrity, service and faith, which inspired our
founders.
The legacy lives on and will continue to do so
as each staff member upholds his or her responsibility.

Paul L. Armerding, MD FACS
