  Hospital named after long time resident and general physician Dr. Clare Scheurer who practiced medicine in Pigeon for years. Liked by some and despised by others, the good doctor had plenty of pull in certain areas. I cannot confirm this but many have said that Scheurer was on the Huron County draft board during the 60's which explains why his son, Clare Jr., and juniors friends never got drafted. There was always controversy surrounding Scheurer and his decisions on who would get special medical treatment or hospital favors. Surrounded by hand picked fellow doctors and nursing staff that followed and obeyed the doctors orders, his legacy still brings comments and unanswered questions about past practices. This is my opinion and opinion only and is ahared by many in the Pigeon area and surrounding towns.

  Ole Doc Schuerer did nothing except for personal gain or power. He would gut you mid sentence if it meant an extra dollar in his pocket. The younger people know him as a pioneer but the older generations know him as a crook and a power hungry maniac.
