River Falls City Hospital, established in 1939, grew from a small local facility into a regional hospital now supported by the Allina Health network. In 1958, the Catholic Sisters opened St. Joseph’s Hospital on Union Street, giving the city two hospitals until 1975. At that point, the city purchased St. Joseph’s, closed the original City Hospital, and renamed the consolidated facility the Ingram Center.

This collection contains a variety of administrative, financial, legal, and personnel records pertaining to the River Falls City Hospital. These papers include documents such as invoices, reports, policies, bylaws, correspondence, and staff-related materials like job applications and resignations. The collection also includes records related to hospital governance and operations, as well as discussions and debates about allowing osteopathic physicians to practice in the hospital.

The College of Business and Economics, or School of Business and Economics, covers three departments: Management and Marketing, Economics, and Accounting and Finance. In the fall of 2003, a new speaking event was established: the Executive-In-Residence program. Each semester, the college would bring in an executive from an institution to present first to a class and later to the college as a whole. It continued until 2014 under the guidence of Barb Nemecek.

The types of resources include PowerPoints (both on thumbdrives and printed), video footage of lectures on DVD and VHS, copies of emails, advertisements, addresses, scripts, newspaper articles, organizational papers, posters, newspapers, and various articles all related to the Executive-In-Residence Program. There is also a 1995 lateral review of the Business Program in the collection.
