In the 1890s, women in Newark identified the need for a
community hospital. Possessing neither property nor
money made this vision difficult. Nine beds were
donated along with food, supplies, and gifts of $.50 to
$50. On December 20, 1898, the Newark Hospital
Association, a non-profit organization, was born in a
nine-room house on 3rd Street.
In 1914, the Newark City Hospital relocated to Buena
Vista and Everett Avenue. In 1966, 81 patients moved
into the innovative and technologically advanced Licking
Memorial Hospital. Licking County is very fortunate to
have a local hospital with a rich and successful history
of serving the community for over 100 years.Topics. This historical marker is listed in this topic list: Science & Medicine. A significant historical date for this entry is December 20, 1898.
