Bakersfield Memorial Hospital -- working for the community
Welcome to Bakersfield Memorial Hospital, Kern County's premier medical center. Here at BMH, we meld state-of-the-art technology with compassionate care to ensure that our patients receive the best care possible.
Bakersfield Memorial Hospital found its roots during a citizen campaign formed by civic leaders and healthcare professionals in the early 1950s to build a new community hospital. This drive led to the opening of the original 112-bed Greater Bakersfield Memorial Hospital in 1956 at its current location. Funding generated through a nonprofit association contributed to the development of this community-owned institution. As a result of sustained local support since its founding, Bakersfield Memorial Hospital has continued to grow to meet the needs of the community. Numerous construction projects throughout the years have built BMH into the regional medical center it is today.
