East Liverpool City Hospital

East Liverpool City Hospital ELCH is a member of the Prime Healthcare Services (PHS) Foundation. The first hospital building was erected on Sixth Street at a cost of $25,000.

Opened Jan. 1, 1905, it had 52 beds in wards and 12 private rooms. The First Addition to the hospital was erected in 1911 on Fifth Street, followed by the Fireproof Addition (West Wing) in 1931. A major building program after W.W.II included the three-story North Wing (1954). The four-story Metsch-Harker Building behind the hospital was erected in 1964 for the nurse training program. A one-story a

ddition to pediatrics and the employee cafeteria were added in 1966. The main hospital building, the six-story East Wing, was completed in 1977 at a cost of $11 million. A comprehensive $9 million renovation and construction project (1990-94) improved access, utilization and facilities. In 2005, as it celebrated its 100th Anniversary, the hospital broke ground for its new North-East Addition. Investing more than $18 million in capital funds, the hospital expanded its emergency room services with a modern facility that includes private patient rooms, trauma beds, dedicated lab and x-ray services, an ortho clinic, isolation rooms and decontamination capabilities. The new ER became fully functional in 2007. The new addition supports a rooftop helipad used to help transport patients to advanced trauma or specialty care facilities. The medical flight crew has direct elevator access to and from the emergency room so that patients can be transferred via air in rapid fashion. The new addition also houses the 4NE wing of 12 private patient rooms. Recent renovations made most of the rooms on the fourth and fifth floors (except for ICCU) into private patient rooms. The new rooms increase patient privacy and help improve infection control measures. East Liverpool City Hospital prides itself with its commitment of keeping current with technology and trends in healthcare. Its focus is on patient care and doing what best serves each one.

Today, please join East Liverpool City Hospital as we honor the victims of 9/11 and their families. On that day, during one of the darkest moments in our history, we also saw the best of America – in the selfless sacrifices of first responders, our armed forces, healthcare workers, and more. We will never forget those we lost, and the courage and bravery shown by so many on 9/11 and in the years since.
