In existence since 1906, Hocking Valley has been a community non-profit hospital since 1949. It opened as a brand new, state-of-the-art medical facility in February of 1966. The 54-bed, 12-bassinet hospital provided medical services through various departments including nursing, radiology, laboratory, pharmacy, dietary, business office, housekeeping/laundry, medical records, engineering and volunteers. HVCH succeeded Cherrington Hospital, which was located on Main Street in Logan. The Cherringtons operated the hospital until 1945, when it was sold to Dr. John Gibbons and sold again in 1946 to Drs. Richard Jones and Owen Yaw. It was then incorporated as Hocking Valley Community Hospital and in 1949 became a non-profit entity for the benefit of the entire community.
Annually, HVCH provides more than $5 million in uncompensated care to those in the community who need it the most.
