The dedicated citizens who, in 1908, founded Springfield Lake Sanitarium would hardly recognize today's hospital or the complex medical services environment in which it exists. However, they would understand our continuing focus on our patients and their needs.

On a national level, we have been recognized for helping patients make significantly greater progress for fewer dollars. Locally, our services are now part of a community-wide healthcare delivery system. Our history, our skilled staff, our specialized programs, and your continuing support help us renew our commitment to providing the high-quality, comprehensive, cost-effective rehabilitation so many need.

This time line traces the evolution of Edwin Shaw Hospital from its origin as a tuberculosis hospital to its current place as the region's leading provider of rehabilitation services.
