Company Description

History of the Copper Queen Hospital

Bisbee’s first hospital was not a building but a hole in the mountain. Dr. Thomas Darlington was recruited in 1883 to fight typhoid epidemics that devastated the mining camp every summer. He took over an abandoned explosives tunnel below the Glory Hole on Bucky O’Neill Hill and started treating the sick. After the first year, he asked for a new hospital and two small frame buildings with cardboard walls were built near the base of Sacramento Hill. Called the “Cracker Boxes”, they were constantly enlarged and rebuilt until 1900 when the Copper Queen Company replaced them with a larger two-wing, two-floor white building fronted by large columns.

Nearby underground mining destabilized the earth under the hospital and in 1909 the company built a railroad spur and moved the entire structure to Lowell. At the time, the massive move was deemed less costly than starting from scratch. The rebuilt hospital went on serving the community until 1929 when once again digging at the nearby Junction mine made the ground unstable and the company—by now Phelps Dodge—decided to move back up the hill to Bisbee.

A dispensary-clinic and hospital was constructed on Copper Queen Plaza. The Lowell structure was demolished, though a few columns survived and are still in use today at a small hotel on Tombstone Canyon. The handsome new hospital was state-of-the-art for the times. The dispensary-clinic entrance was on Main Street while the 40-bed hospital occupied the second floor and had its own entrance on Howell Avenue. Stairs connected the two floors. A nurse’s residence was built next door. The building at One Copper Queen Plaza was Bisbee’s clinic and hospital until 1961 when Phelps Dodge opened a new modern structure in Warren at Bisbee Road and Cole Avenue. The old hospital lives on housing law offices on the first floor and the Covenant Presbyterian Church Annex on the second.

Phelps Dodge continued operating the hospital until mining operations ceased in Bisbee. The fully equipped facility was given to the Cochise County Hospital Association in 1976. County financial difficulties resulted in the formation of the Bisbee Hospital Association in 1977 so that the Copper Queen Community Hospital would remain open.

Today, managed by the Copper Queen Medical Associates, the hospital has been remodeled and modernized providing the finest medical services for Bisbee and surrounding areas. An important part of the community’s economic life and a vital contributor to the quality of life, the Copper Queen Hospital has come a long way from the dynamite storage tunnel on Bucky O’Neill Hill. Providing care each year to more than 141,000 patients in its 2 emergency departments, 14-bed inpatient unit, and 5 rural health clinics for a variety of medical conditions.
