LOWELL WESLEY "BUD" ROBBINS
Originally named the Thomas D. Dee Memorial Hospital, the hospital was founded in 1910 by Annie Taylor Dee and her children. When her husband Thomas Dee died in a tragic accident, Mrs. Dee was determined to build a hospital as a memorial to him and as a service to the community. The original building was located at what is now Dee Memorial Park at 24th Street and Harrison Boulevard in Ogden. The hospital served the community in this location for more than 60 years. In 1969, a new hospital opened a few miles south, west of Weber State University. Originally named the David O. McKay Hospital, the Dee wing opened in 1971 as a rehabilitation/long-term care facility. Soon after, the campus was renamed McKay-Dee Hospital. In 2002, the hospital moved further south to its current location.
Bud was born: January 13, 1925, Dee Hospital, Ogden, Utah
