Lakeview Hospital Revenue and Competitors

Lakeview Memorial Hospital is the fifth oldest hospital in the state, being incorporated as the "Stillwater City Hospital" on March 22, 1880 by a group of twelve women from the City of Stillwater. The first hospital quarters were maintained in a two-story frame building on North Fourth Street. In 1892, a new hospital building was erected at the corner of Greeley and Anderson Streets at a cost of approximately $7,500. At the close of World War I, the hospital facilities were found inadequate, so a group of citizens raised funds and erected the front part of the old hospital at a cost of $90,000. In 1919, the ownership and operation of the hospital was turned over with the original women's corporate holdings to the City of Stillwater and Washington County. At this time the name of the hospital was changed to "Lakeview Memorial Hospital". The hospital had a capacity of 52 adult beds and 10 bassinets.
