Laughlin Memorial Hospital

Laughlin Memorial Hospital Profile and History

Laughlin Memorial Hospital's roots can be traced back to November 1939, when Dr. C. B. Laughlin purchased a large house on North Main Street. Dr. Laughlin then converted the building into a small hospital named Laughlin Clinic. Dr. Laughlin welcomed all physicians who wanted to practice there. Additions to the facility took place throughout the 1940s and 1950s, and in 1978, hospital officials cut the ribbon on a $3.6 million expansion project. 1995, Laughlin officials opened the doors on a new $26 million hospital facility. The hospital continued to expand in 2001 and 2006, adding a new center for women's health, a same-day surgery department, and Green County's first cardiac catheterization laboratory. Today Laughlin is committed to providing the highest quality medical services and diagnostic medical equipment for its patients. This follows the vision Dr. C.B. Laughlin had with the founding of Laughlin Memorial Hospital in 1939.
