Big Horn Hospital Association In 1959, the community of Hardin opened its present hospital, Big Horn County Memorial Hospital. In 1974, a 34 bed nursing home was constructed by Big Horn County and attached to the existing hospital. In 1982, Heritage Acres Nursing Home complex was built with 36 long-term care beds and twenty independent living apartments. Due to public request for diversity in geriatric services, in 1999 Heritage Acres would convert ten independent living rooms to assisted living units. In response to increased medical needs in the community, the Big Horn Hospital Association constructed a new clinic to house 5 physicians and staff an outpatient rehabilitation facility. Due to ever changing reimbursement standards for rural health care, Big Horn County Memorial Hospital became a critical access hospital onJuly 1, 2004.
