History

Elyria Memorial Hospital is a hospital founded in 1908 in response to a trolley crash in Elyria, OH. Before the hospital was built, Elyria was in need of a hospital and when the accident happened, there was no place that was well suited to care for the 100 victims. Edgar F. Allen, whose son died in the crash, started to raise 100,000 dollars to build a hospital. On October 30, 1908, Elyria Memorial Hospital was opened and soon after The Gates Hospital for Crippled Children was opened (Later to be named Gates Hospital). Since then EMH has been on the top 100 hospitals 10 times by Solucient. [http://emhhealthcare.netreturns.biz/newsreleases/Article_Detail.aspx?id=31a75893-44f4-41bb-bdc9-48be22cfb2c3]
