About Lima Memorial

  • Print this

Lima Memorial Health System is a leader in Northwest Ohio in providing high quality, innovative health care that is based in a family-centered environment. LMHS focuses on treating our patients whole life, not just their medical condition. We do it with the latest technology, with years of experience and with the utmost respect for our patients and their families.

We were founded in 1899 as Lima City Hospital by the citizens of the Lima community.

We are a not-for-profit health care organization with around 1,500 employees and 25 facilities in our 10-county service area. Our services include:

  • An advanced Emergency Center and Level II Trauma Center;
  • The Heart and Vascular Institute;
  • Cycle II Accredited Chest Pain Center;
  • The Cancer Institute;
  • The Family Birth Center;
  • The Women's Health Center;
  • The Wellness Center;
  • Pediatric care;
  • Home Health Services and more.   

We also offer an extended network of primary care, pediatric and specialist physicians in our Lima Memorial Professional Corporation (LMPC) group.

We are very focused on supporting the communities we serve through countless community health education efforts including health fairs, clinics and classes, community wellness days and partnerships with other community-minded organizations. Each year, Lima Memorial gives back to the region approximately $25 million in community benefit dollars. 

Lima Memorial is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care to our patients. Because of this, we are constantly adding and advancing our services through new construction, technologies and education of our medical staff.  We have completed the $30 million SPIRIT of Caring expansion project that included renovating the patient tower to offer all private patient suites and expanding The Heart and Vascular Institute.   

We have also recently completed the The Timmermeister Family Surgery Center. The center adds 24,000 square feet of space including a total of six new state-of-the-art, fully-equipped surgical suites.  

Lima Memorial Health System is a partner with ProMedica Health System.
