The history of Guttenberg Municipal Hospital & Clinics (GMHC) dates back to the mid-20th century, when doctors made house calls and cared for critically ill patients in their private hospitals. River View Hospital, located in the 400 block of South River Park Drive, was the community's first healthcare facility. Dr. C.R. Goddard founded it after World War II. He purchased the home and office from Dr. A.E. Beyer. In 1952, Dr. Goddard left the community, and the City purchased the hospital following a successful $45,000 bond issue vote.
