Land for the facility was donated by the Bean Foundation. The St. Charles Health System began providing administrative services to the hospital in 1998. In 2010, the hospital announced plans for a $36 million remodel and expansion to the then 80000ft2 facility to be completed in 2012 without an increase in hospital beds. Plans called for a new main building of to house patient beds, the emergency room, radiology, and other care facilities, while the existing space would be converted to administrative and office facilities. However, the expansion never materialized due to a lack of finances.Instead, the hospital district sought to merge with the larger St. Charles Health System in July 2012. A deal was reached in October 2012 to merge the hospital, and the merger was completed in January 2013 with the hospital becoming St. Charles – Madras.OperationsSt. Charles – Madras has 36 licensed beds, but only has 25 available, and is the only hospital in Jefferson County.
