History
Jihlava Hospital was established as a public institution on the base of the charter approved by the resolution N. 074/02/2003/ZK of the Vysočina Region Council on 31 March 2003 but its history is much longer. Since the 13th century, Jihlava had two hospitals. The Hospital of St. Elizabeth situated outside the fortification walls in the north part of the medieval town and the Hospital of St. George which stood further to the north on the so-called Hospital suburb (Špitálské předměstí). Separately, on the place of today piano factory near U dlouhé stěny street there used to be a lazarette for the wonderers. It served as a quarantine place.
Only in 1751, when the first permanent army battalion settled in the town, Jihlava got its first army hospital. It was built between 1753 and 1754 in Věžní street. Due to its small size, a new army hospital was built between 1785 and 1786 on today Tolstého street (today Police-Academy building).
