Lima Memorial is Committed to Great Care

Relentless Patient Advocates

The people of Lima and its surrounding communities deserve a health care system that is in their corner. A system that’s not afraid to fight for them. No matter what it is and how long it takes. Lima Memorial is that health care system.

Never Underestimate the Fighting Spirit

We understand the importance of excellent clinical care. We also understand the importance of treating our patients the way we would want to be treated.

So when you’re faced with a health issue, no matter how big or small, we want you to know that it’s not unusual to feel frightened. There may be times when you’ll wonder what is happening to you, or how long it will be until you feel better. There may be times when you have questions that you’re too afraid to ask. And there may even be times when you feel all alone. But rest assured you are not alone. There are people fighting right alongside you who will give it everything they’ve got to help you feel well again. It’s our fighting spirit. And when we all work together, we all work better.

Using Medical Expertise to Create Better Lives

Many of our board-certified physicians came to us from some of the most prestigious medical schools and teaching hospitals in the country. They choose to work in Lima where they can make a difference and where they can be champions for your cause, not theirs.

At Lima Memorial, our doctors, nurses and medical staff are agents of change--a force for good and a group that wears a greater purpose with pride and ambition. We serve the people of our communities by working together at facilities throughout a 10-county region, offering the standards of care and the advanced medical technology you’d expect from a large health center.

In Your Corner. On Your Corner.

You don’t need to be within our hospital walls for us to fight for you. We take our services out of our buildings and into our communities. We offer Walk-In Care that provides the services of a family doctor when patients can’t see their family doctor, 11 draw sites to make patients’ lab work quick and convenient, and wellness and health education programs throughout the area.

The CHNA Process at Lima Memorial

A community health needs assessment (CHNA) is a formal process of collecting and analyzing health data and then assessing the needs in a defined community based on this data. All hospitals are required to conduct a CHNA at least once every three years. Upon completion, hospitals need to adopt an implementation strategy to meet the community health needs identified through the CHNA.

What’s in a CHNA?

The CHNA takes into account input from persons who represent the broad interests of the community served by the hospital facility, including those with special knowledge of or expertise in public health. Below are some recent Lima Memorial Health System Community Health Needs Assessments.

Allen County Public Health invited key community leaders to participate in an organized process of strategic planning to improve the health of residents of the county. This plan is used by Lima Memorial and other health, governmental, educational and human service agencies along with community partners, to set priorities and coordinate and target their resources. The Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP), a systematic process of addressing health issues based on the results of assessment activities, defines the vision for the health of the community. A CHIP is critical for developing policies and defining actions that promote health. For more information, read The Allen County Community Health Improvement Plan for 2023-2026.
