LCHS receives recognition for 75-year membership with American Hospital Association
LOWVILLE- Lewis County General Hospital is being recognized for its 75-year participation and leadership with the American Hospital Association.
“Lewis County General Hospital has been a cornerstone of care in Lewis County and other nearby communities. We thank their leaders, caregivers, and other staff for their dedication to providing quality, convenient care,” said AHA Regional Executive Michael Draine.
“The American Hospital Association is proud to recognize Lewis County General Hospital for 75 years of membership in the AHA and for their continued commitment to serving their patients and communities.”
A full-service 25-bed Critical Access facility, the hospital shares its main campus with Lewis County Hospice, a certified home health agency, primary and specialty care clinics, and a 160-bed residential healthcare facility.
In 2022, Lewis County Health System broke ground on a 32-million-dollar capital project that includes a new two-story surgical pavilion and the modernization of the medical-surgical and CCU units at Lewis County General Hospital.
The project is the most comprehensive modernization of Lewis County General Hospital since it opened to meet the healthcare needs of the Lewis County community in 1931.
