History Of Clark Regional Medical Center
In 1915, Clark Regional Medical Center, then Clark County Hospital, was granted a charter as a nonprofit organization by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and began accepting patients on March 17, 1917. The original facility was located on Wainscott Avenue.
In 1967, the Board of Directors purchased 40 acres at the present site and relocated the hospital. Various improvements were made throughout the years and in 1984, the 3rd floor and west wing were added. In the process, capacity swelled to 100 beds and the active medical staff expanded to over 35 physicians.
Since the beginning, such phenomenal growth has occurred that in 1989, the hospital name was changed to Clark Regional Medical Center to better reflect the expanded service area.
Today, the grounds boast five medical office buildings, and long range plans include further
developments, renovations and expansions.
