Fort Jefferson was a town on the Mississippi River about one mile south of Wickliffe, Kentucky in southwestern Ballard County.
History[edit] The hospital was founded in 1890 as St. John's Hospital, by the Sisters of Providence. In 1975, Jefferson County acquired control of the hospital, and in 1985 was it renamed Jefferson General Hospital. In 2004, the hospital was renamed Jefferson Healthcare Hospital because the organization included not only the hospital, but also a number of community clinics.
