Patients were transferred to the newly completed structure on May 21, 1977. The old hospital building was demolished in 1999. A three-story Medical Office Building, which was built adjacent to the hospital, opened in December 1994. Also in 1998, renovation of the Intensive Care Unit and the Medical Unit, both on the second floor, was completed. In 1999 the Third Floor Surgical Unit was remodeled.
Future plans call for refurbishment of the remaining patient care areas of the existing facility.
In a move to expand and make health care services more accessible to Lawrence and surrounding communities, LMH opened an off site outpatient facility, known as LMH South. Services provided at LMH South include endoscopy, IV infusion therapy, Pain Management Clinic, lab draw station, Kreider Rehabilitation Service and other outpatient services.
