Ty Cobb donated $100,000 in January 1950 to help his hometown of [Royston, Georgia](/wiki/Royston%2C_Georgia "Royston, Georgia"), build a 24\-bed hospital, fitted with the latest equipment. The institution was initially run by Cobb's boyhood friend, Dr. Stewart Brown. The original Board of Directors of the proposed hospital held their organizational meeting at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Stewart Brown Sr. on November 6, 1947\. Dr. Brown, a widely respected physician and surgeon, served as Cobb Memorial Hospital's first superintendent. In 2009 the hospital system controversially closed the hospital and moved it to Lavonia, Ga.
