History

---

Although the push for a new hospital in Logansport Indiana began with a provision in the will of Judge David D Dykeman in 1911 the Cass County Hospital did not admit its first patient until May 14 1925

After the delays caused by a flood in 1913 WWI and wrangling over the location and funding a county referendum was held On May 4 1920 after a heated campaign Cass County Indiana residents voted more than 2 to 1 in favor of a county hospital On the same day the Cass County Commissioners appointed a Board of Hospital Trustees to oversee the building of the hospital They appropriated 100000 in November of 1922 and purchased the land from the Tabor family for 25000 They also levied a tax rate of one cent per 100 valuation of all taxable property in the county for a period of 20 years to maintain the hospital

Construction began on August 27 1923 and the Cass County Hospital opened for business on May 12 1925 Staff included the first administrator Miss Harriet Jones a graduate nurse employed on a temporary basis one bookkeeper seven Registered Nurses five undergraduate nurses a graduate physician three kitchen women four housekeepers two laundry women and one yard man

In July 1947 the name of the hospital was changed from Cass County Hospital to Logansport Memorial Hospital

As health care services have been upgraded through construction and technology the original 1925 hospital structure has been torn down or renovated In 1959 the main entrance to Logansport Memorial Hospital was moved to the north side because a Yshaped structure was attached to the Michigan Avenue or East side This YBuilding was renovated in the late 1990s and is currently occupied by Nutritional Services and Cafeacute Express Medical Imaging Family Birth Center and The Arbor by Millers Merry Manor

In 1980 ground was broken on a new wing on the north side of the hospital

Today this wing includes private inpatient rooms the Drew Walker Eckert Chapel Cardiopulmonary Services Laboratory Therapy Services Registration and the AntiCoagulation Clinic Once again the main entrance of Logansport Memorial Hospital was moved this time to the West side where it remains today

The Surgery Wing was opened in 1985 and Ambulatory Surgery was added in 1994 Today there are three main operating rooms one cysto suite two endoscopy rooms and a procedure room Ambulatory Surgery includes 14 patient rooms where most patients begin and end their surgical procedures

Medical Office Building East opened late in 2001 Its tenants include the Outpatient Laboratory MRI and physician offices The Parking Deck completed in 2004 added more than 400 parking spaces a welcome addition for patients and visitors

In 2005 three major additions to Logansport Memorial Hospital were accomplished A new lobby and entrance was built to include these features to improve patient and visitor access and privacy 3lane circle drive with covered canopy Welcome Center with Concierge spacious waiting areas Lobby Lab Draw Patient Registration Cashier Surgery Waiting Community Pharmacy Gift Shop and Coffee Shop that proudly brews Starbucks Coffee
