Wayne General Hospital

In 1951, Wayne General Hospital opened its doors as a 30-bed institution to care for the citizens of Wayne County. Demands for hospital services increased and in 1962, additional beds and an expanded ancillary services area were added. In 1981, a medical arts building was constructed to accommodate up to eight physicians, and in 1994 an addition to the hospital was completed to provide for a new physical therapy department, a dialysis unit, a fitness center, and expanded radiology, laboratory and emergency room services.

The present Wayne General Hospital opened its doors on October 1, 1977. This facility offers laboratory services, physical therapy, inhalation therapy, surgery, an intensive-care unit, obstetrics, home health, hospice, ambulance services, and out-patient services. Today the hospital with modern equipment, expanded services, and specialized personnel has the ability to provide more medical services to the people of this area.
