Lawrence General Hospital

 

LGH commits to improving the health of Lawrence and surrounding communities through a comprehensive Community Benefits program. Ongoing planning and review by a multidisciplinary Hospital team identifies key regional health needs, and provides financial resources to address them, by means of direct patient care to individuals and sponsorships to local programs and agencies.
  
Over the last 100 years, the Hospital’s physical stature and technology has grown with the support of individuals, businesses, and community groups. The Lamprey addition in 1941 launched this expansion, followed shortly after by the Stevens Building in 1958. Modernization continued with the Hamblet Building in 1963, and the new Russell Building, named in honor of the original structure, completed the current physical plant in 1972. Over the last three decades, several internal renovations have facilitated new technology and functional requirements, to keep the Hospital in line with emerging clinical demands and the patient needs of 21st century medicine.
