It is the oldest and most reputed hospital of South Haryana comprising Rewari, Mahendergarh, Narnaul, Bawal, Manesar, Gurgaon, Pataudi, Kosli, Dharuhera and most of other important villages around Rewari founded by Dr SN Saxena and Dr Tara Saxena.
The duo started their small practice in three-room rented accommodation in the heart of the city of Rewari on first floor of an old building. Rewari was a mofussil town at the time with brackish water and no portable drinking water of its own, most of which was bought over from the railway colony.
Both doctors were instrumental in changing the face of the city by not only providing modern medical facility but taking active interest in establishing Public Education Board running five institutions and all other cultural and educational activities. With their earnest desire to uplift the poor and bring modern medical facilities, they organised free eye camps annually in Rewari and villages and educated the people thereby. They also started several social welfare organisations viz. Lions, Lioness clubs and AIWC, Rewari. Gradually they added diagnostic facilities viz. X-ray and computerised lab, ultrasound etc. Their next generation who also took to medical profession joined in the line and now the hospital has grown in infrastructure and facilities.

In 1966, Dr Saxena helped control the epidemic of cholera which is almost unheard of now and helped railway authorities when a disastrous train accident happened near Bawal. The hospital tackled the emergency when two school buses of Mahendergarh collided and several children were affected.
