Adams County Hospital (ACH) was conceived in November 1948 through
the support of
85% of the voters for a $250,000 Bond Issue.
Shortly after that, the Governor appointed a Board of County Hospital Trustees to
oversee the planning of a hospital: R. L. Lawwill, M.D., Seaman; Robert B. Ellison, M.D., Peebles;
Harold Seaman, West Union; and P. Bennie Colletti, Manchester.
At the first Board of Trustees meeting in December 1948 Dr. Lawwill was elected Chairman of
the Board.
By
March 1949 Adams County Hospital had its name and the decision to begin construction of ACH on
the site adjacent to the county Children’s Home was made.
After much effort by the Trustees, the Ohio Department of Health approved our initial
26-bed general hospital.
In August
1951 the
first
Operating

Trustees of
ACH was

the County
