Mat-Su Regional Medical Center's history began in 1935 when President FDR relocated stricken farmers from Minnesota to the lush MatanuskaValley as part of his "New Deal." These "colonists" founded the "NewColonyHospital" in Palmer, AK to serve the Matanuska Colony and area Natives, miners, trappers and farmers. The name of the facility changed to ValleyHospital in 1947, when Valley Hospital Association (VHA) was incorporated as a not-for-profit hospital. An outpatient center was added in 1989 in Wasilla, AK to accommodate space for physician practices and to provide health care services to the growing population of the Matanuska-Susitna (Mat-Su) Borough. VHA entered into a joint venture with a for-profit partner in December 2003 in order to build a new hospital. The new hospital was named Mat-SuRegionalMedicalCenter and opened in January 2006.
