History

Memorial Health was born on April 19, 1897, with the opening of the Springfield Hospital and Training School. Since then, the organization has grown to serve the entire region, meeting the needs of our communities with new services and new ways to care.

Memorial Days: A Visual History of Memorial Health traces our story from 1897 to the present with the help of hundreds of photos and documents from our archives. We are proud to carry on the legacy of our founders and their determination to provide care and compassion to all.
