Forgot to answer the latter part of your question.
From the late early 80's to approx. 92 it was considered the "Discharge Prep Unit" as "downsizing" was in full swing.

Motts,
From what I have been told prior to when I started worhking their , it was an admission building or atleast a couple of the wards were for one of the nearby counties, and the large medical building had a couple of wards for for adm to the county the hospital is in. The basement of the building was used for patients to work, which they had consignment jobs for a nearby publishing company that used stand were the Home Depot now resides. If you would like more info you can
