Two of the first people you’ll probably meet as you enter Cleveland Regional Medical Center at 201 E. Grover St. in Shelby are the welcoming receptionists that greet you as you enter the main entrance. Pictured left is Kathryn Clark who has been with the hospital for 39 years and on the right is Marie Houpe, a five year veteran. These women direct visitors and provide information to all who come to inquire about patients. Cleveland County’s first private hospital was opened in 1910 by Dr.T.G. Hamrick.
