History
The hospital was founded in 1890 when Mrs. Helen Finley bequeathed her estate towards the founding of a hospital in memory of her husband, Dr. John Finley. Dr. Finley was Dubuque's first general physician and the second permanent physician of both the county of Dubuque and the state of Iowa.[1] He and his wife were active within the Dubuque community, belonging to the early settlers group, helping to organize the Presbyterian Church, and forming the Northwest Medical Society (currently known as the Dubuque County Medical Society.)
The articles of incorporation for The Finley Hospital Company, were adopted on February 21, 1890, and the Finley residence was transformed into a twenty-seven room hospital, with 40 beds.
In 2016, Finley Hospital opened a 70,000 square foot, 3-story addition located on the Grandview Avenue side of the current Finley Hospital building. The building houses the emergency department, surgical suites, and Heart and Vascular Center.
