In 1951, concerned
citizens made a commitment to serve the medical needs of our
community by incorporating Grayson County War Memorial
Hospital. Located in downtown Leitchfield, the most vivid
memories of the old hospital focus on people -- the dedicated staff
members who were always on hand to meet the needs of the patients
and families.
By 1976, Grayson County War
Memorial Hospital employed 124 people and was outgrowing its 40-bed
facility. The community again responded to the need, and in 1979,
the hospital relocated to
Wallace
Avenue to a new two-story, 75-bed facility, renamed Grayson
County Hospital.
With a larger,
modern-equipped hospital, and office space to attract new physicians
to the area, the hospital and its services to the community began to
flourish. By the early 1990s, the hospital's medical staff had more
than doubled and its primary service area had grown beyond the
borders of Grayson County. It was no longer just a "county"
hospital-- it had come to be recognized as a regional healthcare
provider. Thus, the Board of Directors, looking to the future,
renamed the hospital, "Twin Lakes Regional Medical Center,"
to more truly represent its growth and status throughout the area.
From five physicians in
1979 to today's active Medical Staff of 30 representing 11 specialties,
Twin Lakes Regional Medical Center remains committed to its pledge
to provide "Medical Excellence, Compassionate Care."
