History[]

Tree Hill Memorial Hospital (2x12) — Tree Hill Memorial Hospital, as it appeared in the second season ("Between Order and Randomness")

Over the course of the series, Tree Hill's local hospital was known by at least three different names. Chronologically, during the 1980s, it was originally known as New Brunswick County Hospital. During this time, several of the main characters would be born in the hospital's maternity wing. By the time of the second season, which took place during the spring of 2006, the hospital had changed its name to Tree Hill Memorial Hospital. While it reverted to its previous name during the fourth season, the hospital was shown to have rebranded as New Brunswick Regional Medical Center in later seasons.
