In 1967, on the initiative of the chief doctor of the Chelyabinsk City Clinical Hospital No. 1 Kameneva Julia Alexandrovna, a museum was opened at the hospital (the hospital in the city was opened in 1828). The first exhibits of the museum were personal belongings of Pyotr Mikhailovich Tarasov - an outstanding surgeon, scientist, public figure. Gradually, the museum was replenished with other exhibits, archival material on the history of not only the city hospital No. 1, but also the city's medicine was accumulated.

The first head of the museum was Lyudmila Lvovna Okorokova, in the next 8 years Tamara Konstantinovna Novikova – obstetrician – gynecologist. In 1987, the museum was headed by Candidate of Medical Sciences, Honored Doctor of Russia Israel Moiseevich Matovsky, who worked for many years as a health care organizer, including the chief doctor of the city clinical hospital No. 1. Since 2011 - Head of the Museum D.M.N. Alekseev N.A., 24 years worked as Chief Doctor of the City Clinical Hospital No. 1.
