General Info

Lawrence Memorial Hospital (LMH), in collaboration with its medical staff, is dedicated to providing personal and high-quality health and wellness services for the people of Lawrence and the extended community. Each day, LMH seeks to be the BEST community hospital by exceeding the expectations of those we serve. This aspiration has resulted in our recognition for the 2014 Truven Health 100 Top Hospitals award; the only hospital in Kansas to be recognized for this honor. We are privileged to have been recognized for the second year in a row and to be ranked in the top three percent nationally. Founded in 1921, LMH is a 173-bed hospital located in Lawrence Kansas. Through the years, hospital additions have built and health care services have expanded – a trend that continues today. In March 2009, LMH completed a three-year $45 million expansion which included new facilities for Emergency and Surgery and additional space for Maternity, Intensive Care and Critical Care. A new 18-bed wing was added which allowed the hospital to convert semi-private patient rooms to all private. LMH continues to be a community-owned, not-for-profit hospital that serves the health care needs of the community regardless of an individual’s ability to pay. LMH receives no tax support from the city of Lawrence or Douglas County. Dedicated to improving the health of the community, LMH invests all excess revenues in services, equipment and facilities which further that mission.
